[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 2622179, member: 8959"]I voted Livia, but only because the main reference I use generally follows that line based on a likeness with Livia's sculpture. However, it is also likely that it may be simply a representation of Pietas. I like this coin, mainly because of the portrait, and wanted one for my collection. This is my example: [B] LIVIA DRUSILLA (LIVILLA), wife of Drusus Caesar.[/B] Æ Dupondius (29mm, 11.17 gm). Rome mint. Struck 22-23 AD. Obv: Veiled, diademed, and draped bust of Livia as Pietas right Rev: DRVSVS CAESAR TI AVGVST F TR POT ITER, around large S C across field. RIC I 43 (Tiberius); Cohen 1. Fine, black-green surfaces. [I] Ex CNG, From the Garth R. Drewry Collection. [ATTACH=full]575538[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]575539[/ATTACH] [/I][/QUOTE]
