<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3570341, member: 44316&quot;]Herennia&#039;s portraits are often not flattering. (See the coins in the previous posts.) However it is possible to find a coin on which she is pretty:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]950770[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Herennia Etruscilla, wife of Trajan Decius (259-251). After Decius died she was treated with honor by his successor, Trebonianus Gallus. </p><p>HER ETRVSCILLA AVG</p><p>PVDICTIA AVG</p><p>Sear III 9494. RIC (Trajan Decius) 58b, plate 11.4, which has this hairstyle.</p><p><br /></p><p>This legends and reverse also comes with a different hairstyle:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]950774[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has the same reverse as above, but she appears older and her hair is much different. RIC page 109 thinks this hairstyle is later. The portrait is some evidence.</p><p>Same obverse legend and reverse legends as above. I don&#039;t think the RIC numbering system distinguishes these two--both are 58b.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
