<p>[QUOTE="IMP Shogun, post: 7205076, member: 114683"]From time-to-time history has a way of being more dramatic than theater. By that I mean there are periods of time in the Roman Empire, that if true, rival the likes of Game of Thrones. Perhaps GoT without the dragons would be more fitting. When I think of Julia Doman I tend to think about the drama between Caracalla and Geta. There really is so much more to the story including campaigning, achieving title, managing government and certainly no shortage of good old fashion Roman Empire intrigue. I left some links at the end if you wanted to read more detail than I put here, but I know we're here for the metal:</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/julia-denarius-rsc-168a.16746/full?lightbox=1&last_edit_date=1616213580" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p style="text-align: center"><i><b><font size="3"> Julia Domna 193-211 A.D. denarius RSC 168a Pudicitia </font></b></i></p> <p style="text-align: center"><i><b><font size="3">struck 196-202 in Syria </font></b></i></p> <p style="text-align: center"><i><b><font size="3">IVLIA AVGVSTA / PVDICITIA; Pudicitia seated to left </font></b></i></p><p><br /></p><p>Julia was born at Emesa, Syria (present-day Homs) in 160 CE.
