    I do not have too many coins bearing the portraits of Roman ladies , but here is one that I like.
    There is probably more than one Faustina Senior coin already in the thread, here is one struck for her after her death:

    DIVA FAUSTINA SENIOR, wife of Antoninus Pius. Died 141 AD. Æ Sestertius, Commemorative issue struck under Antoninus Pius, after 146 AD.
    Obv: Draped bust right
    Rev: Ceres standing left, holding a torch in each hand. RIC III 1120 (Pius)

    I really like Sabinas's hairdo.

    I wonder what Hadrianus had to say about that!

    Sometimes, I have a bad habit of GUE... Go-Ugly-Early when selecting coins for my Roman Ruler Portrait Slots. They are not my focus. Sometimes they are very nice, some are so expensive for what I want to invest in my secondary or tertiary collecting focus. So, I "settle".
