Manlia Scantilla. Áureo. 193 d.C. Roma. (Ric-7a). (Ch-1). (Cal-2400). Anv.: MANL·SCANTILLA AVG. Busto drapeado a derecha. Rev.: IVNO REGINA. Juno velado en pie a izquierda con pátera y cetro, a sus pies, pavo real a izquierda. Au. 6,57 g. Precioso color con brillo original. Posiblemente se conozcan menos de una docena de ejemplares. Extremadamente rara. EBC+. Est...35000,00. Al mismo tiempo que Didius Julianus fue reconocido como emperador por el Senado, a su esposa e hija se les concedió el título de Augusta - en ese momento un hecho inusual al comienzo de un reinado. Se sabe muy poco sobre estas damas imperiales. S.W. Stevenson, el famoso anticuario del siglo XIX, describió a Scantilla como "la más deforme de las mujeres", mientras que es bien sabido que se pensaba que su hija, Didia Clara, era quizás la joven más bella de Roma. La moneda de Scantilla, aunque muy rara, fue emitida en los tres metales principales, y todas sus monedas llevan el mismo tipo de reverso que honra a Juno como reina del panteón romano.
