BMCRE p. 102 †, Hill —, RIC S616a (R2), RSC 13a Obv: IVLIA DO–MNA AVG; draped bust right. Rx: CERER F–RVG •; Ceres standing left, holding two corn-ears and lighted torch. Very rare; RIC S616a cites “Mouchmov, Réka Devnia, p. 106” referring to no. 15,&nbsp; “Cerer. frug. Var. 2,” of which there were three examples. This does not seem to correctly correspond to the Cohen numbers, since Mouchmov describes no. 15 Var. 2 as corresponding to Cohen 13 (same type as this coin, none in RD). This coin is a die duplicate of <a href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=1208222&amp;partId=1&amp;searchText=domna+616a&amp;page=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=1208222&amp;partId=1&amp;searchText=domna+616a&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow">1979,0614.33</a> in the BM. The scratch across Ceres looks like an intentional defacing of this deity. VF.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
