Mysia, Parium. Cornelia Supera. Augusta, A.D. 253. AE 23 (22.77 mm, 4.21 g, 5 h). Contemporary Copy. (garbled/illegible), diademed and draped crude female bust right wearing pearl necklace / [C] C I [H P?], blundered capricorn flying right (globe between legs?), cornucopia projecting downwards from stomach. Cf. SNG von Aulock 7448. Near VF / F, uneven strike loses much legend and a large part of reverse device - rough green-brown patina with some reddish deposits in recesses.
Although the obverse legend is illegible, at best, this type was issued extensively for Cornelia Supera whom the portrait tends to favor. Salonina seems to be the only other possibility, although a few earlier Severan women turn up.
