<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4293685, member: 72790&quot;]This brass coin of Julia Aquilia Severa is listed in some publications as a &quot;scarce&quot; coin. About the size of a US half dollar it weighs 12.5 grams and the inscriptions, obverse and reverse, are in Latin. It is from the mint of Tyre. One can feel sorry for this woman. Although she was a Vestal Virgin the strange Elagabalus picked her as his wife, twice between other wives. She disappears from the historical record with his murder. The anonymity after that, it is hoped, came from her going back [ATTACH=full]1093002[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1093003[/ATTACH] back to the Vestals and that she was not murdered with him. IVL AQVILIA SEVERA AVG. On reverse, an urn with palm tree branch emanating from it TURIORVUM[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
