AR Denarius of Julia Domna
Subject
money; coins (money)
Description
The obverse side of the coin features the face of Julia Domna with text on either side of her face. The reverse side of the coin features Juno holding a scepter and a patera, a peacock on the left of the goddess, and dotted lines surrounding the figure. The scepter shows Juno’s role as queen of the Gods, and the peacock is her symbol. Julia Domna is known as a loyal and caring empress, and this can be compared to Juno since both are shown as maternal figures and are queens.
