<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 985878, member: 5739&quot;]I have an AE Sestertius of Julia Mamaea, not in the greatest condition, some letters in the legend worn off, but the portrait is quite nice, reverse is decent.... can&#039;t say the grade, I will have photos in a short time hopefully.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is where I found on the same coin as mine on wildwinds:</p><p><a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s8235.html#RIC_0705" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s8235.html#RIC_0705" rel="nofollow">http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s8235.html#RIC_0705</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Julia Mamaea AE Sestertius. 228-9 AD. </p><p>rev: VENVS VICTRIX S C - Venus standing left holding helmet &amp; scepter, shield at feet.

Of course the fact that I hadn&#039;t seen one before the one that I purchased means little.</p><p>&nbsp;My real question is just about the rarity of the overall type. Anyone know anything about this issue ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll try to get those photos as soon as I can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
