<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3696870, member: 72790&quot;]Normally I would not reply to a posting put up more than two years ago but when I saw that someone had posted a dichalcon of Aquilia Severa, wife of that oddball emperor Elagabalus, I had to reply just so that I could post an image of my dichalcon of his wife, a vestal virgin (not too many of those on Roman coins) and obviously so special that this sun worshipper emperor married her twice. I could never find a reason or place here on Coin Talk to post this one but since this thread is about palm trees, I think my palm tree, arising from inside the urn on the reverse (look hard) is the smallest palm frond posted. It also has on the reverse a sea shell, the famous Phoenician murex (purple dye) as this is a coin, as the Latin title has it, TYRIORVM, of the Tyrians. Now, wasn&#039;t it worth the two and a half year wait[ATTACH=full]990794[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]990797[/ATTACH] to see this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
