<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3246200, member: 19463&quot;]I find it interesting that some earlier Domna portraits look wearier than those of a couple years later.&nbsp; The first two years of the reign were taken up by civil wars with Pescennius Niger and Clodius Albinus followed by some punishment tours against the people who supported the wrong side.&nbsp; After that, Septimius was firmly in charge and being wife of the greatest ruler in the region was an easier life than following him from battle to battle.&nbsp; Yes, the portrait is just what I would expect it to be for 193-194 AD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
