    8th, Alegandron:


    Diadumenian, Homonoia, a hard task, but I think I got it:
    (1) The rev. legend has a break between O and V by kalathos of Homonoia. That occurs only at ΛONΓINO - V, not possible at AΓPIΠΠA.
    (2) There are 3 types with this rev. and different obv. dies. They differ only by the position of OC of ΔIAΔOVMENIANOC. Your coin must be HrHJ (2018) 8.25.36.1

    There are a couple other JD in my gallery as well. I think I also have some unattributed (of the male variety) that just never made it to the gallery. I will check just in case there is anything of interest!

    Plautilla-Aphrodite.jpg Plautilla, wife of Caracalla. Nicopolis, Moesia Inferior; Æ 25. Her marriage to Caracalla was demanded by his father, the Roman emperor Septimius Severus, since Plautilla's father, Plautianus, was an old friend of Septimius Severus (who had appointed him as his praetorian prefect). Her father fell out of favor in 205 A.D., whereupon she was banished to the Lipari islands. She was murdered by Caracalla's order in 211 A.D. Obv: Her bust, right. Rev: Aphrodite standing nude, facing, and modestly covering herself with her hands. AMNG (Pick)___, BMC___ (a single example for Plautilla, with different reverse), SNG Copenhagen___ (NO examples for Plautilla!). A single example cited by Varbanov, #3202.

    Dear arizonarobin!

    Thank you for your coins. Here I have the attribution:

    (1) Plautilla, Hermes, HrHJ (2018) 8.21.10.1 (your coin), very rare (R8)
    (2) Plautilla, Nike, HrHJ (2018) 8.21.9.2 (same dies, but writes NIKOΠOΛIT)
    (3) Plautilla, Zeus, HrHJ (2018) 8.21.1.1
    (4) Domna, Tyche, HrHJ (2018) 8.17.38.1 (same dies), interesting EΠ ICTPΩ
    (5) Domna, Tyche, HrHJ (2018) 8.17.38.2 (same dies). The QEA (divine) is exceptional. It doesn't mean that Domna has deceased but should be a flattering epithet.
    (6) Domna, Severus, HrHJ (2018) 8.14.34.32 (same dies). Because the ethnic is on the side with Domna it is the rev. Therefore this coin ist listed under Severus.
    (7) Domna, Peacock, HrHJ (2018) 8.17.3.4 (same dies). The obv. legend is IOVΛIA ΔOMNA CEBA.
    (8) Domna, Lion, HrHJ (2018) 8.17.53.1 (same dies)
    (9) Domna, Volute krater, HrHJ (2018) 8.17.52.6 (same dies). The rev. legends ends with ICTPO.
    (10) Domna, Hermes, not listed in Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2018). I would like to add this coin to Nikopolis Addenda #6 at FAC
    (11) Domna, Legend, HrHJ (2018) 8.17.54.4 (same dies)

    Best regards
