The first, characterized by a hair nodus on her forehead and best represented on the marble bust in Copenhagen, is not represented on Roman issues but only on provincial coins. The second, with a centre part of the hairstyle in place of the nodus, is present on the dupondii minted under her son Tiberius in Roma. Marble sculptures are known where the first portrait type with a nodus was later reworked into the second portrait type, confirming the sequence of the portrait types. AMP. This coin allows us to differentiate between the portrait of Julia, daughter of Augustus, from Livia (Julia Augusta) his wife. Julia is shown as the goddess Aphrodite, Livia as the goddess Hera. On most other provincial coins the name Julia Augusta refers to Livia, not Julia, which can be very misleading.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re coin is Livia, Julia Augusta.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
