<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 3215772, member: 57495&quot;]Seeing as the reverse of this Cappadocian drachm is <i>not </i>Mount Argaeus, I thought it&#039;d be interesting enough to share here.&nbsp; It&#039;s a little scrappy, but I like the portrait, and that some of the letterforms stood out to me as unusual (the Δ in ΔOMNA and the Єs on the reverse).&nbsp; I haven&#039;t seen very many of this reverse with Aphrodite around, and they appear to have only been struck for Domna in Severus&#039;s 5th year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to share any of your Cappadocian provincials.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]836136[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>JULIA DOMNA</b></p><p>AR Drachm. 2.42g, 17.1mm.
