The denarius was a widely circulated ancient silver coin that formed the foundation of Roman currency for more than four centuries, first introduced around 211 BC during the Second Punic War. Initially valued at ten bronze asses, this modest silver piece became the primary unit of wages and trade across the empire. The coin generally weighed close to 4 grams and typically displayed portraits of emperors or other prominent figures on the obverse. Today, Roman Empire Julia Mamaea AR Denarius Coins are available in Mint State condition from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Roman Empire Julia Mamaea AR Denarius Coin available here comes preserved in Mint State condition. The coins maintain strong details with sharp designs, reflecting their careful preservation over time. NGC Ancients provides individual grades for strike and surface quality, with most examples earning 5/5 in both categories or 5/5 strike paired with 4/5 surface. Strike assessments consider factors such as centering, strike strength, and evenness, while surface evaluations account for qualities like luster, abrasions, and corrosion.
Julia Mamaea was the ambitious mother of Emperor Severus Alexander and one of the most powerful women in Roman history, dominating imperial policy from 222 to 235 AD during her son’s reign. She maintained such controlling influence over the young emperor that ancient sources criticize her for keeping him overly dependent and damaging his reputation among the troops, who mockingly called him a “mama’s boy.”
The obverse of the Julia Mamaea AR Denarius Coin displays her right-facing profile, emphasizing her role as a key figure in Roman leadership. Her cautious foreign policy and alleged fiscal parsimony—she was accused of withholding proper pay and donatives from the soldiers—ultimately proved fatal when mutinous troops murdered both her and Severus Alexander near Mainz in 235 AD, an event that plunged Rome into the catastrophic Crisis of the Third Century and ended the Severan dynasty she had worked so hard to preserve.
The reverse of Roman Empire Julia Mamaea AR Denarius Coins follows a long Roman tradition of conveying authority and religious values through imagery. On this coin, a design known as Fecunditas with a child is featured. The design represents the Roman personification of the goddess of fertility, with the figure often shown holding a scepter in one hand and an infant in its arms.
