Good Fine. Very Rare.
Purchased from Freeman & Sear, Los Angeles, USA.
Accepting the title Augusta at the encouragement of her sister-in-law Pompeia Plotina in AD 105 and thus becoming part of the official Imperial iconography, the coinage struck for Ulpia Marciana after her death marks the first use of the term CONSECRATIO on the coinage of Imperial Rome, becoming a standard feature on issues in the name of deified members of the Imperial household.
