I like this one, with the peculiar reverse.

Diva Mariniana, wife of Valerian I, Æ Sestertius, 14.50g. Rome mint. DIVAE MARINIANAE, veiled, diademed & draped bust right / CONSECRATIO S-C, peacock standing facing, head left, feathers in full display. RIC 9, Sear 10073.

That's a wonderful acquisition. Maybe some day I can add her to my many women of Rome.

Wow Molinari => that's another total winner (I'm a bit jealous of your sweet group-lot!)

I love the animal coins (ummm, peacocks are actually quite common on Roman coins ... quite common, but still very cool)
