Marsyas Mike Posted June 2, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hurray for Juno. This thread inspired me to see what Juno types came my way so far in 2022. First, three that came from two large eBay lots. There were a couple of gems in these lots, but the Junos were not gem-like, as you can see 😬 Faustina II  Æ As / Dupondius (c. 162-164 A.D.) Rome Mint FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bust right wearing circlet of pearls / [IVNO]NI REGINAE S-C, Juno, veiled, standing left, holding patera & sceptre; peacock at feet. RIC III Marcus Aurelius 1652 (10.48 grams / 23 x 22 mm) eBay May 2022    Lot @ $5 BIN  "The lack of an all-round legend and the use of the type 7 hairstyle imply a date for the IVNONI REGINAE with Juno standing type of AD 162 at the earliest.  The abundance of the issue suggests it was in production for at least a year or two. Therefore, I assign the issue a date of AD 162-164." Roman Collector on CT Jan. 2022 From the same lot, a real rarity, if you believe my wishful-thinking attribution and my "Manlia Scantila "double chin" theory - I wouldn't bet on it: Manlia Scantilla?  Æ Sestertius (193 A.D.) Rome Mint [MANLIA SCANTILLA AVG], draped bust right, hair in bun behind / [IVNO REGINA SC], Juno standing left, holding patera, peahen below. RIC IV Didius Julianus 18; BMCRE 32 (see notes).  (18.23 grams / 25 mm) eBay May 2022 Lot @ $5 BIN  Attribution: Manlia Scantilla IVNO REGINA type very similar to more common Julia Domna issues; based on slight double chin of this portrait, Manlia Scantilla is a possibility. If not, these are the Julia Domna types: RIC IV Septimius Severus 840: with DOMNA RIC IV Septimius Severus 856:  with AVGVSTA Another from those lots; this deserved as side-shot photo - it is very thick, a veritable brass slug (almost 14 grams!).  Crispina Æ Dupondius (c. 178-182 A.D.) Rome Mint C[RIS]P[INA] AVG[VSTA], draped bust right / [IVNO LVCINA], S-C across field, Juno standing left, holding patera and scepter. RIC III Commodus 680 (dup.); Cohen 24; BMC 433. (13.97 grams / 23 mm) eBay May 2022   Lot @ $5 BIN  Slightly more appetizing, which isn't saying much, here is Juno in her shrine, via a Volusian sestertius: Volusian Æ Sestertius (251-253 A.D.) Rome Mint IMP C[AE C] VIB VOL[VSIANO AVG], laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / IVNO [M]ART[IALIS], Juno seated facing, in circular, tetrastyle temple; [peacock at her side]. RIC IV 252a (var.) see notes. (14.27 grams / 26 x 23 mm) eBay Feb. 2022   Attribution Notes: The reverse peacock is not present on this coin; this seems to be a common omission, but RIC does not note this, thus the "var." See Roma Numismatics Ltd. E-Sale 79, Lot 881, 14.01.2021 "[peacock at her feet]"... RIC IV 252a var. (peacock)"  This one is the best of my 2022 purchases, Salonina: Salonina Antoninianus (260-268 A.D.)  Antioch (or Asian) Mint SALONINA AVG, diademed and draped bust right, on a crescent / [IV]NO REGIN[A], Juno standing left, holding patera and sceptre; peacock at feet, star in left field. RIC V Salonina 92; Göbl 1619f.  (2.66 grams / 21 x 20 mm) eBay Jan. 2022 Ck $3.25 A sestertius match for the first one in this posting, Faustina II with a green face (a very rare variety): Faustina II Æ Sestertius (c. 162-164 A.D.)  Rome Mint FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bust right wearing circlet of pearls / IVNONI REGINAE S-C, Juno, veiled, standing left, holding patera & sceptre; peacock at feet.

Benefactor LONGINUS Posted June 2, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted June 2, 2022 That’s a beautiful denarius, Roman Collector. I love the portrait of Faustina II gazing skyward. I think this is my one and only coin featuring Juno.  9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabius Posted June 2, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 2, 2022 My Juno coin is the same as the OP type, except Faustina is shown wearing a stephane. RIC III 698. It's also one of the nicest ancient coins I own in terms of condition, I really like the detail 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
