[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 8253959, member: 97383"]Mat, Great score, provincial Tets of Julia Domna are indeed rare :jawdrop:!

It's surprising that Septimius Severus never had her depicted on a Syrian Tet o_O, although I believe the two are depicted on very rare Alexandrian Tets.

I was very lucky to put together a family group of Philip I coins from the collection of Michel Prieur. The Tet of Otacilia Severa is pictured in Prieur's book & the other two are pictured in McAlee's book :D. [ATTACH=full]1454836[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
