<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 4578328, member: 99456&quot;][USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER], a nice Philipp I with Northern Elk. As I have shared my first sestertius (Valerian) already a few times, here is my last sestertius i.e. most recent, as I could certainly consider another. A large lump of bronze - the sestertius is always an impressive coin in hand.&nbsp; Lucilla was 15 when this coin was issued, the year of her marriage to Lucius Verus.&nbsp; She would be widowed by age 20, AD 169 - the last year coins are likely to have been issued for her.&nbsp; &quot;M ANTONINI&quot; obverse legend is used to date 164.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1133631[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Lucilla</b>, Augusta, AD 164-182, Æ Sestertius, Rome AD 164</p><p><b>Obv:</b> LVCILLAE AVG - M ANTONINI AVG F Bust of Lucilla, hair waved and fastened in a low chignon at back of head, draped, right</p><p><b>Rev:</b> VENVS S - C Venus, draped, seated left, holding non-winged Victory in extended right hand and sceptre in left hand</p><p><b>Size:</b> 32mm, 25.12g</p><p><b>Ref: </b>Sear 5508, <a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.3.m_aur.1776" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.3.m_aur.1776" rel="nofollow">RIC 1776</a></p><p><b>Note: </b>this is an example where cross-references can be imprecise - Sear references <a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.3.m_aur.1773" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.3.m_aur.1773" rel="nofollow">RIC 1773</a> with entry 5508, but there are several variants described in RIC e.g. this one with winged victory is 1776.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
