Love the obverse John. And a big sister at that!!

 

Love that coin Eng!!! BIG sister indeed!!!

I have a few Julia's of the Severan variety---and I KNOW Doug does LOL------not to mention a few other of the 'ladies-man' types in our group....Yeah Mat, I'm referring to you among others

To start: Julia Maesa and Julia Domna (Julia Mamaea is on bid right now)...and a few others I'll 'Look' for;

 

I'm really starting to like this Ebay thing!!

 

A 'LARGER' Julia Domna and a sestertius I 'forgot' I already had of Julia Mamaea--Geez, getting old blows!!!

 

Nice portrait, I want a big sestertius of her too. Eventually.

 

Nice coin, John! Wish I had sestertius of Julia Mamaea myself. eBay can be great if you're patient and careful. I've acquired many fine coins way below retail prices.

 

Mom says, "Hi."

 

Nice score Eng!

 

nice snag at what you have won there =0)

 

Excellent coin, I wish I had a big sister like that.

 

Great looking score, Eng!! (congrats)

... yah, my one Julia Mamaea example isn't very flattering ...

 

Mamaea?

 

dang ENG, 21 g...what a fatty! i love a "big boned" coin!

i don't have her and i recently posted a julia d in one of mats thread...but i have a denarius of her mom as well.




i seriously can't keep all the julias straight.

 

=> yup, I corrected my ooops (I must have read your Maesa (directly above) and made the typo) ... thanks for pointing that out, ol' wise one

 

=> ya old judger, you!!

 

Thanks for posting your coins and comments!

 

Mamaea has very often neat and artistic portraits IMO, much more than others

Here are a sestertius I've had for a long time and sold when I eventually found an exquisite second one (unfortunately, none of them is a 28$ purchase Eng) :
