<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 24904835, member: 85693&quot;]I hope it is okay to bring up an old post, but it was so good, and so helpful to me that I felt compelled to...which is to say thank you, [USER=80783]@Julius Germanicus[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>So here it is, one of the Herennia Etruscilla Fecunditas sestertius with the AVGG reverse.&nbsp; It is on a small, very dumpy flan, but weighs a respectable 17 grams because it is so thick.&nbsp; The portrait is very nice, I think.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1600737[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Herennia Etruscilla Æ Sest. (c. June-July 251 A.D.) Rome Mint </b>[HEREN]NIA ETRVSCILLA AVG, diademed &amp; draped bust r. / FECVNDITAS AVGG, S-C, Fecunditas standing left, holding hand over child with hands raised, cornucopiae in left hand.

June 251, the reverse legend was expanded to FECVNDITAS AVGG (RIC 135 a), but these are quite rare as both Decius &amp; Herennius perished in the swamps of Abritus just a month later...&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Since nobody had posted one like this, though it was mentioned in the OP, I thought it justified bringing this thread back to the current decade <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; But also I want to mention how useful this post was when I was attributing this coin - it came without much by way of attribution and I first thought it was the more common AVG type.&nbsp; But this post made me look again, and I found the second G in AVGG.&nbsp; So again, thank you [USER=80783]@Julius Germanicus[/USER] ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
