    While a nice coin, I do not see calling it the one illustrated in the line drawing. Same type, certainly, but not the same dies or specimen.

    Excellent coin of one of the most powerful women in Roman history!
    Cool resource, btw.
    She really looks better than this and demands a reshoot...
    Anyway, I'm having a hard time using forum to research if any of her Thessalonica coins are in there but thought I'd share despite the set back:

    Yes, same type, not the same coin. But the vast majority of coins listed in Mionnet are not illustrated; that's what makes this coin so fun.
