Beautifull coins Mat!

 

Really nice coins....guys/gals!!!!!

I love the one with the hippo reverse (Steve) that is one I really want! I already posted most of my "mom" ancients.

 

Oops! I do have a Roman Empress to post!

AV Tremissis Constantinople Mint circa 421/23AD 16mm/ 1.51g
Empress Aelia Eudoxia/ wife of Theodosius II

 

Thanks, and nice gold Eudoxia.

 

Eudocia actually ("EVDOCIA").

 

Ummm, seriously though => does anybody have a "left-facing" Roman chick-coin?

 

I don't have one but there is a left facing Agripinna II RPC 1749 on Wildwinds.

 

I don't have any, but I don't have a ton of Roman women.

ERIC's format makes looking for left-facing busts fairly easy. Compiling a list of left-facing Provincials would be tough.

From ERIC, Imperial women with left-facing issues:

Agrippina II
Julia Titi
Sabina
Faustina I
Faustina II
Crispina
Julia Domna
Julia Maesa
Julia Soaemias
Julia Paula
Julia Mamaea
Tranquillina
Otacilia Severa

 

Very helpful list Tif, thanks.

 

Thanks TIF ... at some point I'll go look at a few of the photos (thanks again for the coin-lead)
