Julia Domna; Rome, c. 208 AD, Denarius, 2.47g. C (1st ed.)-115 (Paris) = C (2nd ed.)-218 (omitting Cupid) = BMC-90 note. Obv: IVLIA - AVGVSTA Bust draped r. Rx: VENVS VICTRIX Venus standing l., legs crossed, leaning on column, holding helmet and palm, with shield at her feet, which is grasped by Cupid standing r. before her; behind her, on r., cuirass. Ex Curtis L. Clay Collection. An elaborate and rare type, occurring only on denarii, which is poorly published because the BM had no specimen, and because Cohen's correct description of the Paris specimen was botched (omitting the Cupid) in his second edition. Probably about twenty specimens known, including (probably) one in Reka Devnia hoard. . EF (400)
