    Recently acquired a new Lucilla for my denarius set of reverse types.

    I avoided this one for the longest time since I technically had a sitting Concordia type, but this was just $20 and pleasant enough for my collection so I went ahead and got it.

    Only thing different with this is the legend "LVCILLA AVGVSTA" instead of " LVCILLAE AVG ANTONINI AVG F". Also concordia holds a cornucopiae.

    Still missing the "Vota Outside Wreath" reverse.

    Tray also has a new statue head.

    Pleasant enough for any collection, IMHO, and a steal at $20. Love the tray!

    Your "virtual trays" certainly are handsome, and the statue heads make a nice addition.

    My old Lucilla, to pile on.

    WOW, @Mat , NOW I see you are getting back in the Empress mode! Looks great. I think it VERY impressive having almost all the reverses. Very cool!
