<p>[QUOTE="happy_collector, post: 7742472, member: 100070"]Happy Friday! I recently picked up a Lucilla and Crispina denarii. Both have Venus on the reverse side, but are of different styles. I remember reading somewhere that Lucilla did not come along well with Crispina, probably due to political power struggle. However, 1,800 years later, I imagine they can be together, in denarius format, talking about Venus... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1325612[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1325613[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Crispina AR Denarius.</p><p>2.92g, 19mm. 180-182 AD</p><p>Obv: CRISPINA AVGVSTA; Draped bust, right.</p><p>Rev: VENUS; Venus standing left</p><p>RIC 286a, SR 6002</p><p><br /></p><p>Lucilla AR Denarius.
