<p>[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3039319, member: 75937"]One of the coins I purchased in the Frank Robinson Auction 104. We know this is the first issue of Julia Soaemias because it can be dated to AD 218 because the corresponding aureus (BMCRE 39) predates Elagabalus' return later that year to the reduced aureus standard of Caracalla.
