Salomons Cat Posted October 3, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Beautiful!! And impressive how well the clothes and artifacts fit to the goddesses. I must admit that it never occurred to me to collect Roman goddesses. I'm even a little shocked that this is another way to collect Roman coins that I've never thought of before 😂 Is Judaea a goddess? 🤔 I would say that she is the personification of a province. But I must say that she fits in there very well and I would miss her if she wasn't there. You inspired me to create an image for Ceres. Not really on your level, but I tried: C. Memmius C.f, 56 BC. Denarius (Silver, 19 mm, 3.91 g, 11 h), Rome. Obv: C•MEMMI•C•F Head of Ceres to right, wearing wreath of grain ears and pendant earring. Banker's mark and light graffiti on the obverse. Rev: C•MEMMIVS / IMPERATOR Trophy of arms set on captive kneeling to right, his hands tied behind his back. Babelon (Memmia) 10. Crawford 427/1. RBW 1531. Sydenham 920. Ex Leu 07/2023.

Al Kowsky Posted October 3, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 3, 2023 The goddess Africa THRACE, Augusta Traiana. Septimius Severus, AD 193-211. AE 27, 15.51 gm, 6 h. Reverse: Goddess Homonoia with cornucopia sacrificing over altar. Varbanov 993. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat Posted October 3, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2023 The Goddess Hilaritas is portrayed as rejoicing. Often depicted on coins for giving away to people to celebrate the Birth of a child. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great graphic, @Salomons Cat! Judaea (personification) is not a goddess but I wanted to pay homage nonetheless. My first ancients (first love ) were Judaean coins in a boxed collection.
