Not
all the interesting
themes, though, not by a long way! But it shows you can have an interesting
collection without needing to have expensive or perfect coins. Anyway, here's one that's not on my hairstyle page.
I posted this coin recently as a coin of the day, so please forgive the re-posting, but it's interesting in that you can see a double
star or flower design in the clasp used to hold
Aquilia Severa's hair at the back. I think, probably
flowers rather than stars. If this is meant to show only one
side, then there would be four
flowers in all. The hair is rolled along the brow line, an ancient styling that would have been regarded as classical even in Aquilia's time. The rest of the hair is pulled smoothly back in a
style you also see on
Julia Paula.
