Some of my ladies of Rome

This is the only one I have at all.
Diva Faustina I AE Sestertius. After 146 AD. DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust right / AETERNITAS S-C, Juno standing front, head left, raising right hand and holding sceptre. Cohen 28, RIC 1102, Sear 4605.
Wildwinds lists (one example) not sure exactly what that means ?
Also one other thing is the examples I have seen Juno's head
is veiled or covered in a cloth and mine is not.

Q

 

Hey! Forgot:

THEODORA


RI Theodora AE 15 337-340 CE Pietas Romana S 3911

 

GALLA PLACIDIA


RI Aelia GALLA PLACIDIA Augusta Regent for Valentinian III 423-437 CE mo of Theodosius Æ4 Bust E - cross CID visible ex FSR 102

 

When I started collecting ancient coins I decided that one of my areas of interest needs to be ... as many coins with empresses as possible.
Faustina Sr


Julia Domna

Another Faustina Sr


... and Jr



Last for now but not least, Otacilia Severa

 

While many still cling to the old ID of this as Livia, I believe this coin shows Livilla, wife of Drusus Caesar as Pietas (rather funny since she is believed to have killed her husband to further the career of her lover Sejanus).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livilla

My coin is not the one that was issued with the inscription of Drusus but the restoration of the type under Titus by which time many people probably would not know one Julio-Claudian from another. I do not have the one issued under Tiberius and Drusus but provide a CNG link.

Chronologically here are my Roman Ladies:

Cleopatra (not exactly Roman, but on a Roman coin)


Agrippina II


Julia Maesa


Severina

Helena

Galla Placidia


Irene (Byzantine)


Theodora (Byzantine)

 

I subscribe to the Vipsania, mother of Drusus, theory.

A pretty common coin, but here's a lovely Julia Mamaea sestertius, AD 222-23, 19.49 grams, Roma E-Sale 53, lot 830.

IVLIA MAMAEA AVGVSTA, diademed and draped bust right / VENVS GENETRIX, Venus standing left, holding apple and scepter, child standing right before her. RIC 704 (Alexander).



I just got in a Faustina senior as and a Faustina junior sestertius that I hope to post tomorrow.

Oops! I forgot Livia. I hope she's not upset.

AE dupondius, AD 22-23. Struck during the reign of Tiberius.
