<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numisnewbiest, post: 3247522, member: 99613&quot;]I just purchased this Julia Domna denarius from Forum Ancient Coins because it was love at first sight. The reverse isn&#039;t great, and the obverse legend was done over a stiff drink, but the portrait knocked me out of my seat. This coin was minted when she was about 43 years old, two years after Septimius Severus had died and Caracalla had killed Geta, so she had been through a lot by this time, but still looks noble and dignified.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]851376[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>JULIA DOMNA, SILVER DENARIUS, ROME MINT, 213AD</p><p>Obverse: IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG</p><p>Reverse: VESTA</p><p>RIC IV C390, RSC III 230, BMCRE V C29, Hunter III C10, SRCV II 7108</p><p>Ex Jyrki Muona Collection[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
