I used to have a denarius of her aunt Julia Domna in my collection.
I'll need to get another to carry on with my Severan Dynasty collection.

You have a cool gallery on Forum Ancient Coins bronzemat.
I really like your Julia Domna. Beauty.

Thanks, considering I collect on a limited budget I am happy with how far its come along in the 13 months I have been collecting ancients themselves.

Got my first Roman Republic on layaway, hope to have it paid off next month sometime.

You have a link to your collection?

No I don't have a link but your question prompted me to shoot this quick image of my ancients.


From upper left to lower right:

Bronze of Phillip II
AR Tetradrachm of Alexander III
Bronze of Alexander III
AR denarius of Vespasian (I got it with heavy rub on the high spots so I quickly converted it into a pocket piece. )
AR denarius of Hadrian
AR denarius of Septimius Severus
AR denarius of Caracalla
AR denarius of Geta

Those are great pieces, especially the AR Tetradrachm of Alexander III. I don't have any big ancient silvers like that but I'm kinda focused on getting other ancients before I get the big boys like that.
