Julia Maesa. Augusta, AD 218-224/5. AR Denarius (19mm, 3.41 g, 12h). Rome mint. Struck under Elagabalus, AD 220-222. Draped bust right / Pudicitia seated left, drawing veil from face and holding scepter. RIC IV 268 (Elagabalus); Thirion 412; RSC 36. Good VF, lightly toned, a few die flaws on the obverse, including one by Maesa's mouth, a few minor deposits on the reverse.

A little known historical fact is that Julia Maesa enjoyed her chewing tobacco! (Or it's her cud, pun intended.)
