Description

Struck at Rome in AD 196–211 under Septimius Severus, this silver denarius portrays Julia Domna. Her draped bust faces right, with waved hair gathered at the back beneath the legend IVLIA AVGVSTA.

VESTAE SANCTAE, “To sacred Vesta,” accompanies the veiled goddess standing left with a patera and sceptre. The figure and her extended arm are visible, with some peripheral lettering reaching the edge of the flan.
