[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2666164, member: 31620"]This looks like a base metal imitation, possibly ancient. It is not a provincial as these are both imperial issue portraits. That is not the deified portrait of Domna but a regular older style portrait from around A.D. 216 like my example below. These were issued under Caracalla. [IMG]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_065a_img.jpg[/IMG] This would not be combined with a young Geta portrait and mixing of dies is not uncommon on these base metal imitations. It could even be modern(ish) and created to fool. The type of Domna with Geta does occur with the earlier IVLIA AVGVSTA as on my poor example.
