Lot description:


Julia Domna. Augusta, AD 193-217. AV Aureus (20.5mm, 6.13 g, 12h). Rome mint(?). Struck circa AD 193-196. IVLIA DO MNA • AVG, draped bust right / VENER I VICTR, Venus, draped below waist, seen from behind standing right, leaning on column to left, holding apple in extended right hand and palm frond in left. RIC IV 536; BMCRE 47-8 and 123; Calicó 2642 (this coin illustrated); Biaggi 1154 (this coin). Toned over lustrous surfaces, somewhat irregular flan, edge marks, minor die flaws, a few light scratches. Good VF.

From the Wayne Scheible Collection. Ex Harlan J. Berk inventory cc62749 (ND); Edward J. Waddell inventory A13301 (ND); Numismatica Ars Classica 49 (21 October 2008), lot 318; Leo Biaggi de Blasys Collection, purchased, 1954.

Due to the somewhat differing style of this issue than those attributed to the Rome mint, some consider these coins to be from a secondary mint. BMCRE lists the 'poorer' style examples on p. 379.

Estimate: 4000 USD
