<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 8253886, member: 21445&quot;]Been awhile since I was able to acquire a new ancient coin and it&#039;s nice feeling.</p><p><br /></p><p>My newest coin happens to be a fairly rare Julia Domna Tetradrachm. I can&#039;t say I won this for a song, but I did big aggressively &amp; ended up getting it for much lower then I expected.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems these do tend to have some rough surfaces, from the few I found. I did find several fakes of the type but none had the &quot;A beneath eagle’s head&quot;, as this does, plus it feels and looks good in-hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also included a group shot of all my Julia Domna coins since I never do group photos like many others do.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1454809[/ATTACH]</p><p>Julia Domna (193 - 217 A.D.)</p><p>SELEUCIS and PIERIA, Emesa</p><p>AR Tetradrachm</p><p>O: OULIA AUGOUSTA, Draped bust right, wearing stephane.</p><p>R: DHMARC EX OUSIAS, Eagle standing facing, head and tail left, with wings spread, holding wreath in beak; between legs, radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Shamash left; A beneath eagle’s head.</p><p>10.42g</p><p>26mm</p><p>Prieur 949</p><p><br /></p><p>Rare</p><p><br /></p><p>Pending Wildwinds Publishing</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1454811[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1454810[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
