[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4292419, member: 110350"]Yes, I realized how pointless my comment about the similar reverses was after I posted it, and went and looked up the coins of Orbiana and realized that they almost all had that same reverse. As far as the marriage emission issue is concerned, Sear does state (RCV II at p. 675) that "[c]oinage in the name of Orbiana is by no means plentiful and seems to have been confined to the actual occasion of the marriage." And if she did have a sour look on her face on my coin (I don't see it that way!) because of her mother-in-law, don't forget that it proved justified not only by her own exile to Libya, but by Julia Mamaea's arranging for the execution of Orbiana's father, the aristocrat Seius Sallustius Varius Macrinus, on charges of high treason based on an accusation that he had plotted to seize the throne for himself.[/QUOTE]
