ROMAN EMPIRE, Julia Domna, Silver Denarius, RIC IV 39010 views3.246g, 19.1mm, Rome mint, 213AD
Obverse: IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG, draped bust right, hair in horizontal ridges, looped plait from ear around back of neck
Reverse: VESTA, Vesta standing facing, head left, veiled, palladium in right hand, long scepter vertical in left hand
Not a rare coin, but I would put this portrait of Julia Domna up against any other. In my opinion, it is the most believable and lifelike version of any I've seen. The reverse is a little weak, but the obverse is crisp and well struck.

Roman, Julia Domna9 viewsSilver denarius, RIC IV C390, RSC III 230, BMCRE V C29, Hunter III C10, SRCV II 7108, Choice aEF, 3.246g, 19.1mm, 180 die axis, Rome mint, reign of Caracalla, 213 A.D.; obverse IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG, reverse VESTA; from the Jyrki Muona Collection
A superb portrait, much more realistic and lifelike than the usual Julia Domna portraits. She was 43 years old when this coin was struck, and her portrait here reflects her 20+ years alongside her husband, Septimius Severus, living in camp on his military campaigns, raising Caracalla and Geta, being an empress of Rome. She looks very dignified and noble, and looks a lot more like her sister Julia Maesa than her usual portraits show.Steven HNov 17, 2018
