[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 4976621, member: 91461"][MEDIA=youtube]mwBdWVTR-o8[/MEDIA] Young love. I really do love romanticizing (no Romanictic pun intended) about young, pregnant Livia leaving her stuffy senator husband for a young brash, untried, yet bold as they could come, after his grand uncle hands him the keys to the world, man whom she truly loves. That really is how it plays in my mind with everything that has been written about them. [ATTACH=full]1195853[/ATTACH] (Livia catching a fainting Octavia, Augustus sister, whilst virgil reads the young, looking, couple The Aeneid) Of all the sub genres that I love, aaand faithful reader as you know there are many, maybe the smallest (as in only 3 in said set) and most striking is the Livia Augusta 3 coin set of lovely dupondii minted under her son Tiberius. I now have 2 of the 3. No jokes about me not having any Pietas. Can't lose what you never had;) This one, the hardest to get in good condition, is the mother of our country:kiss: as Salus and its green patina is a wonderful contrast to my 1st of her as lady Justice! Without further ado, here is/are the lady(ies) of the hour: [ATTACH=full]1195854[/ATTACH] Livia, wife of Augustus AD 14-29. Rome Dupondius Æ, 31 mm., 13,13 g. nearly very fine Ex: Savoca [ATTACH=full]1195923[/ATTACH] Livia, wife of Augustus (died in 29 AD). AE As, struck under Tiberius, 22-23 AD. D / Diademed and draped bust of Livia (as Justitia) right; IVSTITIA below. R / TI CAESAR DIVI F AVG PM TR POT XXIIII around large SC. RIC (Tib.) 46. AE. g. 13.18 mm. 29.00 R. Rare. Dark green patina.
