    IVNO CONSERVATRIX - Juno, the protectress or preserver, is the counterpart to the role of her husband as IOVI CONSERVATORI. She is typically depicted wearing the stola with a palla as a veil, holding a patera and the hasta pura, and generally with a peacock at her feet.

    This avatar of Juno appears on coins of Julia Mamaea, Otacilia Severa, and Salonina.

    Post your coins of Juno or anything you feel is relevant!

    That's more than nice for a "snack" – my only Julia Mamaea was struck from dies in a much worse style.

    I've got the Juno Conservatrix type for Otacilia Severa, a Juno without further attributes for Julia Domna and Faustina II, and Juno Regina with peacock for Faustina II and, as a "snack" from the collection of a former forum member, for Lucilla:

    This is an Eastern mint denarius of Julia Maesa / IVNO REG.
    rn0200bb1689.jpg
    similar but just IVNO
    rn0210bb2003.jpg
    According to Maesa's coin, Juno was not terribly attractive.
