Julia Domna, AR Denarius, After 198, Laodicea ad Mare (?)
IVLIAI-AVGVSTAI
Draped bust right, hair weaved in rows and tucked at back of head in weaved bun pattern
VICT AVG_GI-COS II P-P
Victory advancing left, wreath in right hand, palm in left
15mm x 17mm, 2.94g
RIC IV, Part I, --
Note: These legends are not listed in RIC for any issues.
RIC IV, Part I, 120c (Rome) and 499 (Laodicea ad Mare) for Septimius Severus
have a reverse legend VICT AVGG
COS II P P with Victory advancing left with wreath and palm. Those pieces,
from both mints, are attributed to 198 AD.
So, perhaps this is the Julia Domna version of this reverse type, but the
celator for some reason decided to add an "I" to each word
referencing a name to make the whole coin consistently feminine
syntactically? IVLIAI, AVGVSTAI, AVGGI? Then the reverse would read VICT
AVGGI COS II P P, which I could see it being since there appears to be the
bottom part of a letter to the right of the tip of Victory's wing. The
coin was sent to David Sear for review in April 2006.
The first image shows the coin in uncleaned condition as I purchased it, the
second image is post-cleaning.
Notes from David Sear CoA received on June 15, 2006: This hybrid appears to be unpublished: for the coin of Severus which served as the
prototype for this reverse, cf. RIC 120c, BMCRE 258 and RSC/Cohen 694. gVF and struck on small flan, an interesting example of the irregular
coinage produced in the early part of Severus' reign.
