<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 3097656, member: 75936&quot;]I have captured another Roman beauty, Orbiana, for my portrait series ... Top end coins of hers do not come cheap, so I settled for this quite reasonable denarius:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]783262[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><i>Orbiana. Augusta, AD 225-227. AR Denarius 18 mm. 3.0 gm. Rome mint. Marriage issue, AD 225. Obv: Draped bust right, wearing stephane Rev: Concordia seated left, holding patera and double cornucopia. RIC IV 319 (Alexander); RSC 1.&nbsp; </i></p><p><br /></p><p>As you know, she was the beautiful wife of Severus Alexander - a beauty which made his mother Julia Mamaea so jealous, that Orbiana was exiled to Libya.</p><p><br /></p><p>So let&#039;s see some Orbianas... or anything else that&#039;s relevant or interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
