[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 2724000, member: 75937"]Would you please see if there is a pentassarion of Severus Alexander and Julia Mameae (confronted busts) of Marcianopolis with a Dikaiosyne/Aequitas standing left, holding scales and cornucopiae under magistrate Umbrius Tereventinus (225-229)? This is the coin in question: [ATTACH=full]617853[/ATTACH] The obverse inscription should read either ΑVΓ ΚΜ ΑVΡ CΕVΗ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟC ΚΑΙ ΙΟVΛΙΑ ΜΑΜΑΙΑ or ΑVΓ ΚΜ ΑVΡ CΕVΗ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟC ΙΟVΛΙΑ ΜΑΜΑΙΑ. The reverse inscription should read ΗΓ ȣ ΤΕΡΕΒΕΝΤΙΝΟV ΜΑΡΚΙΑΝΟΠΟΛΙΤ-ΩΝ. It is similar to, but not the same as Varbanov 1834, which depicts Nemesis with scales and cornucopiae but with a wheel at her feet: [ATTACH=full]617854[/ATTACH] My coin doesn't have a wheel at her feet. Note I'm 100% positive it's Severus Alexander with Mamaea and 100% positive it was issued under Tereventinus.[/QUOTE]
