<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 7976703, member: 41219&quot;]I&#039;ve been trying to add more women to the FF collection at the request of my daughter. I&#039;ve found that provincial coins are a good way to do this since imperial coins with portraits of women tend to be cost prohibitive. </p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of weeks ago I found an absolutely beautiful Nike reverse on a provincial coin of Philip I and Otacilia. I looked through the seller&#039;s other coins and they had several other 2 headed provincials. I watched and watched until the auctions were almost over and I threw some bids out. Much to my surprise, I won all of them!</p><p><br /></p><p>In one fell swoop I managed to add 3 new women to the FF collection as well as a father-son duo! 2 of the women are not at all who I want my daughter to emulate; Julia Maesa and Julia Mamaea. I admittedly don&#039;t know much about Otacilia besides the fact that after her husband died and her son was killed, she was allowed to live and died in obscurity some time later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below, are our &quot;two-headed&quot; coins. Please feel free to share anything you see fit. Thanks for looking!</p><p><br /></p><p>Elagabalus and Julia Maesa</p><p>218-222 AD&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>AE 27</p><p>Marcianopolis</p><p>Obverse: AYT K M AYΡ ANTΩNEINOC AYΓ IOYΛIA MAICA AYΓO, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Elagabalus right, facing diademed and draped bust of Julia Maesa left.</p><p>Reverse: YΠ IOYΛ ANT CEΛEYKOYMAΡKIANOΠOΛITΩN, bust of Serapis right.
