Thanks for help! :)

Yes... I linked the false - you did it right. The 1st one I buy first - and I like it so much, that I will buy the second example.
I read that there are two mints - Rome and Laodicea (?) and many variants with the towel. So I hope I can collect all variants some time.

If you are looking for this type of reverse for Julia Domna there will be a chance to acquire a pretty nice piece on coming GNDM spring auction (besides other coins from specialized collection of Alexander Severus)

or (the same coin but on other platform)

If it is forbidden to paste links to current auctions please remove it (I was not able to find terms of the discussion forum).

Yes I know this - but I'm afraid I've gotten a few more competitors now ;)

Today I can get my third Iulia Domna Venus coin.

Now I get from Rome a) with two towel ends, b) with towel end on the right and c) this new one with towel end on the left ...
Next round - need Venus from Laodicea :D
