<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeptimusT, post: 3519287, member: 91240&quot;]I haven&#039;t been very active in CoinTalk lately due to finals work and other projects taking up a lot of my time, but I&#039;ve been browsing now and then in the background, and growing my collection. One of the interesting coins which I&#039;ve acquired recently is this fouree denarius of Julia Domna...</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s possible that my identification is just wrong, but after viewing the common reverse types of Julia Domna, I believe it is imitating <a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.4.ss.577_denarius" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.4.ss.577_denarius" rel="nofollow">RIC 577</a> or one of its regional mint variants, which depicts Isis nursing the infant Horus/Harpocrates. The only thing that stands out is that Isis appears to be facing left, instead of right, which all official variants that I&#039;ve seen do. Unfortunately, the reverse inscription is too far gone to make out much, although I believe one of the last letters is an &#039;A&#039; (as in Felicitas). </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone ever seen anything like this?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]934405[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Obverse: </b>IULIA AVGVSTA, bust right</p><p><b>Reverse: </b>SAECVLI FELICITAS (?), Isis <i>left</i> nursing the infant Harpocrates, left foot on prow, altar with rudder behind (?)</p><p>2.63g, 18mm[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
