The denarius of the late 2nd century AD, particularly under the Antonine and early Severan dynasties, represents a transitional phase in Roman coinage preceding the economic turbulence of the 3rd century. While still recognizably silver, these coins showed increasing debasement compared to earlier Imperial standards, with fineness declining from the near-pure silver of Augustus’s era. This late-2nd century Roman Empire Denarius holds a Mint State certification from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), with an impressive 4/5 strike grade and 5/5 surface grade. Now, the Roman Empire Julia Domna AR Denarius is available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This Roman Empire Julia Domna AR Denarius is in Mint State condition, boasting largely untoned, satin fields on the obverse, with a bright silver reverse field highlighted by a satin luster. The 4/5 strike grade indicates a well-struck, centered design, while the 5/5 surface grade means the coin has only minimal signs of wear, tear, and aging.
The design of Roman Empire Julia Domna AR Denarius Coins displays her portrait on the obverse, typically shown with elaborate hairstyles that evolved throughout her lifetime, from the simpler styles of the 190s to the more complex arrangements of later issues. Reverse types emphasized her roles and virtues, featuring personifications such as Pietas, Vesta, Fecunditas, and Juno, alongside titles like Mater Castrorum that highlighted her connection to the military.
Denarii struck in the name of Julia Domna, wife of Septimius Severus and mother of Caracalla and Geta, reflect the unprecedented prominence of imperial women in late 2nd and early 3rd century coinage. These coins circulated widely throughout the empire during her husband’s reign (193-211 AD) and continued during her sons’ rule, documenting her evolution from Augusta to mater castrorum and mater senatus. Julia Domna’s coinage demonstrates the political importance of the imperial family and the empress’s role in projecting dynastic continuity and legitimacy.
