Another one off the list! Plautilla Plautilla. Augusta, AD 202-205. AR Denarius Struck under Septimius Severus and Caracalla, AD 202-203. O: Draped bust right R: Concordia standing left, holding patera and scepter. RIC IV 363a, Rome mint. 18 mm, 3.7 g. If you have trouble keeping track of the Roman ladies like I do, she was the wife of Caracalla. After their marriage, well... they certainly didn't live happily ever after. When this coin was struck she was just a kid really (about 14), about my youngest daughters age. Kind of makes sad really. Well, she looks nice on my new coin. Post your Plautilla coins!
Great coin. Nice concordia. Plautilla (202 - 205 A.D) AR Denarius O: PLAVTILLA AVGVSTA, Draped bust right. R: PIETAS AVGG, Pietas standing front, head right, holding a child.

You guys have some nice Plautillas. I still need a marriage issue. Great new pickup, @chrsmat71. An imperial: A provincial:
nice OP and post coins of Plautilla! i've just recently in last few weeks made it a goal to collect empresses. i haven't any of her yet but she's on the list of Roman women to get.
The happy bride appeared on this AE38 from Stratonicaea with her husband and Zeus on horseback. The countermark erased Zeus' head on the other side. It takes several of these to piece together the legends. CNG offered an interesting story about the meaning of the reverse. https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=245817 https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=236795 https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=160144

These are beautiful. One of these days I have to clean my roman coins....only had them for 10 years maybe? LOL
Very nice OP Plautilla denarius @chrsmat71 For a long while, I've had a soft spot for her and was eventually able to put together the whole series of denarii struck in her name. Sadly, I've sold most of them since, but have kept the overview made of them Plautilla overview A virtual tray showing obverses and reverses of all the silver coins minted for Plautilla that I could find. Including 14 types of denarii from Rome featuring all the known variations of hairdo and reverses, 3 types of denarii from Laodicaea, and as a bonus, a drachm from Caesarea Q
