<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 8342129, member: 75937&quot;]Another multi-media extravaganza from [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER] productions! Fun thread.

Someday I&#039;ll rectify that situation when I&#039;m not tracking down obscure Faustina coins. I do have coins of a few women in Drusus&#039; life, of course.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c.tenor.com/ZRVTtTkgp3YAAAAd/bond-james.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/who-is-depicted-on-this-dupondius.289543/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/who-is-depicted-on-this-dupondius.289543/">Vipsania</a>, mother of Drusus.
