<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 4553865, member: 75937&quot;]Pudicitia is the personification of chastity and modesty. Because these were considered to be feminine virtues, this personification appears as a reverse type for coins of many Roman empresses from the Antoninine period onward. Be that as it may, she first appeared as a reverse type on many coins of the emperor Hadrian.</p><p><br /></p><p>She is depicted veiled, typically seated (though she appears standing), and she often holds a scepter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Four types were issued for Julia Domna featuring Pudicitia. Two of them feature Pudicitia seated left, head and torso facing, and holding a scepter -- one issued under Septimius Severus and one issued under Caracalla. Two of them feature Pudicitia seated left, without a scepter -- one from Rome and the other from an eastern mint formerly thought to be Laodicea.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Post your coins featuring Pudicitia or anything you feel is relevant! </i></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1127595[/ATTACH]</p><p>Julia Domna, AD 193-217.</p><p>Roman AR denarius, 2.81 g, 18.8 mm, 1 h.</p><p>Rome, AD 196-211.</p><p>Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, right.</p><p>Rev: PVDICITIA, Pudicitia veiled and stolate, seated left, head and torso facing, right hand on breast and left hand resting on chair and holding scepter.</p><p>Refs: RIC 575; BMCRE 72-73; Cohen/RSC 170; RCV 6603; Hill 1165; CRE 382.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1127594[/ATTACH]</p><p>Julia Domna, AD 193-217.</p><p>Roman AR denarius, 3.40 g, 17.8 mm, 6 h.</p><p>Rome, AD 196-211.</p><p>Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, right.</p><p>Rev: PVDICITIA, Pudicitia, veiled and draped, seated left on throne, right hand on breast, left arm at side.</p><p>Refs: RIC 576; BMCRE 74; RSC/Cohen 168; RCV --; Hill 701; CRE 384.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1127592[/ATTACH]</p><p>Julia Domna, AD 193-217.</p><p>Roman AR denarius, 3.17 g, 19.3 mm, 1 h.</p><p>Eastern mint (formerly attributed to Laodicea), AD 196-202.</p><p>Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, right.</p><p>Rev: PVDICITIA, Pudicitia, veiled and draped, seated left on throne, right hand on breast, left arm at side.</p><p>Refs: RIC 644; BMCRE 613-16; Cohen 168; RCV 6602; CRE 385.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1127580[/ATTACH]</p><p>Julia Domna, AD 193-217.
