Winter in Ohio has that effect on people

Looks like ol' Julia feels the same way!

 

Oh yeah, winter has really sucked this year. I've had pneumonia, flu, several head colds, etc. Went into the hospital a couple of times.

 

Oh man, sorry to hear that. Hope you're feeling better.

 

GET THIS MAN SOME MORE COINS....STAT!

you know what they say, a coin a day keeps the doctor away!

another cool coin GG. julia does look a bi down doesn't she?

 

Yes it does. If you throw it hard enough.

 

Always nice to see a new lady posted.

 

Another cool coin! Its always good to see these lower-budget-yet-nice looking coins. Hope you get well

As many poor, ancient beggars looking for change found out the hard way...

 

ANother nice addition!

 

Great addition, Gil-galad!! ... huh, I don't have a Julia Maesa (curious, what year is that baby? ... thanks)

=> ummmm, not unlike Mat, I love the chick-coins!! (very cool pick-up)

Hey, dawg => Spring is just around the corner my friend (turn that frown upside down and pour yourself a nasty glass o' wine!!)

Cheers brother!!

 

Thanks Steve. The year of the coin is not listed. I narrowed the years down to a range. 218-226 AD

218 or later when Elagabalus honored her with the title Augusta avia Augusti (Augusta, grandmother of Augustus), up until she passed away in 226. This is just an assumption, no solid evidence of the years the coin was issued.

 

It won't let me edit the first post to update it. Oh well.

 

Oh okay sorry, I must have the "daughter" of Julia Maesa (I have a Julia Mamaea) ...

 

I have the same coin. Notice I have the years narrowed down to 218-222AD.

JULIA MAESA AR Denarius
OBVERSE: IVLIA MAESA AVG - Draped bust right

Struck at Rome, 218-222 AD
2.6g, 19mm
RIC 268, BMC 76 (Elagabalus), S 7756, C 36

 

That's a nice provincial of Julia Mamaea. I have two Imperial coins of her.

 

=> yup => good ol' Serapis wore his fancy-hat to the photo shoot!!

 

I see why you have it narrowed down to those years. I did not know the coin was specifically issued under Elagabalus.

 

Nice denarius, Gil - super detail. Best wishes for your health!

 

I forgot. I don't have Elagabalus's grandmother but I do have a denarius of his mother, Julia Soaemias:

(better in hand, just haven't taken my own shots yet)

 

Thanks John, much appreciated. I was reading one of your posts and I see you were sick as well. I hope you're feeling better now.
