<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2052859, member: 42773&quot;]This is my first purchase of the year. Some weeks ago, I had mentioned my interest in the Cybele types of Julia Domna. Doug Smith recommended this coin to me, but I had to sit on it until the holiday expenses were well in my financial wake, hoping that nobody would swipe it out from under me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The details on the reverse of this coin are really quite astonishing, and perhaps you&#039;ll agree with me that they more than abundantly make up for the somewhat irregular and cracked flan...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]377372[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Julia Domna. Augusta, AD 193-217. AR Denarius (19 mm, 3.25 g, 12h). Rome mint. Struck under Septimius Severus, circa AD 205. Draped bust right / Cybele, leaning on tympanum (drum) and holding branch and scepter, seated left on throne flanked by two lions. RIC IV 564 (Septimius); RSC 123. Good VF, lightly toned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
