<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4939970, member: 110350&quot;]I might as well post my two other Juno Sospita coins, in addition to the two L. Procilius coins depicting her that I posted in the OP. She certainly was a popular deity back in Republican days!&nbsp; I know that her final appearance on an Imperial coin, from the reign of Commodus, has been posted in this thread, but how many other times was she depicted on an Imperial coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Republic, L.
