JayAg47 Posted November 6, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 6, 2023 Not my coin, but saw this one listed on ebay. I'm pretty sure its genuine, but maybe minted in the eastern provinces given her 'bug eye'. What mint do you think it was struck? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tejas Posted November 10, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 10, 2023 I also think that this is an unofficial mint product (in very worn condition). Here is my exemplar of that type: Obv.: IVLIA DOMNA AVG Rev.: VENERI VICTR Mint: Rome Date: 193/196 Weight: 3.62g 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambr0zie Posted November 10, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 10, 2023 @JayAg47 - I am not skilled enough to answer about the mint so I go with the experts, but I want to give you an advice - forget about this type. It tends to become addictive. I already have 3 JD Rome denarii (last because of a very obvious double strike, shown this on the forum), a JD sestertius and a Titus denarius. And yes, I already know that I will not be able to refrain myself and I will buy other JD mints, a Julia Titi denarius and the rest of available emperors and empresses with this reverse 😞 So beware. Better to stop this before it turns into an addiction. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
