[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3606024, member: 75937"]The reverse inscription MAT AVGG MAT SEN M PATR is an abbreviated form of the title, [I]Mater Augustorum, Mater Senatus, Mater Patriae[/I], which had never before been conferred on any empress. It is translated as "Mother of the Emperors, Mother of the Senate, Mother of the Country." The way the figure of Julia Domna is stylized (holding a branch and scepter), in conjunction with her remarkable titles on the reverse, assimilates her to the great mother goddess, Cybele, implying that she is the counterpart on earth of the mother of the gods.[1] This depiction and titulature emphasize the extraordinary political influence enjoyed by Julia Domna in the period following the death of her husband, Septimius Severus.[2] Denarii with this reverse inscription were issued depicting Julia standing as well as enthroned. Post anything you deem relevant! Here are the examples in my collection: [ATTACH=full]965436[/ATTACH] Julia Domna, AD 193-217. Roman AR Denarius, 2.93 g, 20.3 mm, 6 h. Rome, AD 211-217.

Rev: MAT AVGG MAT SEN M PATR, Julia standing left, holding olive branch and scepter Refs: RIC 380; BMCRE 11; RSC 114; RCV 7102, Hill 1244; Temeryazev & Makarenko 357. [ATTACH=full]965435[/ATTACH] Julia Domna, AD 193-217 Roman AR Denarius, 3.17 g, 19.2 mm, 12 h. Rome, AD 211-217.
