At last, a video dedicated of showcasing many Augusta Rome was blessed to have. I have a fair amount within my collection, personal favorites were a wonderful Diva Faustina I Denarius, the second Augusta I owned and one of my favorites is a Antoninianus of Mariniana, and a lovely Sestertius of Sabina. At the moment, im still looking for Severina Ulpia to go along with my boi Aurelian (shout out 3rd century mvp), upgrading my denarius Lucilla, and finally getting my hands on a denarius of Sabina. Savoca has lovely examples up for auction but its gonna be a tough to snag one of them haha.

Wonderful video to watch and learn from you and as always, I look forward to hear more from your videos in the future.

Thanks for this very special coverage of women on Roman coinage. I revisited my collection of fine ladies and they are certainly a compliment to our collections.

One of my very first beginner collections had an American large cent from 1798. I am not certain if the bust is a specific person or lady liberty... But it was very intriguing to me as a kid. 200 years was inconceivable to me back then.

Perfect video for today. Last year I won a Faustia II with Juno and a peacock on the Rev. I don't believe my collection would ever be complete without them.

As a collector of ancient coins and a woman - thanks for this!

Thank you for this. Since watching this video I've begun collecting the empresses. I recently passed up an EF bronze AE Livia, €€€. I doubt I'll find another like it so I have my eye out for a dupondius.

I have a denarius of Diva Faustina that I enjoy alot. Thanks for another great video!

[flaccidvs]

Excellent video!! One of my favourite ones (although she doesn't appear on coins) is Theodora, wife and Empress of Justinian!

🔸 Well, now I know why I haven't been able to find a Zenobia coin for my Dad!

Wow! You can really see the debasement of the silver as the years progress!

I'm writting my final work of Master (un "mémoire" in French) on the coinage of Lucilla and I'm happy to see a beautiful denarius of her in your collection ! (My first coin is a coin of Lucilla !) Your videos are great !

[divernumis]

Nice video! How identificate Faustina maior and minor in some pieces? It's a difficult question. Some collectors indicate the hair.

"Female participation on the coinage of the time isn't as prevalent as the male presence."

"Am I a joke to you?" -Athena

Okay, okay, I was just jesting.

[asheland_numismatics]

My favorites! I have both Faustinas. 😄

I was finally able to collect my first coin of a female leader, Julia Domna, when I started collecting a set of coins from the Severan period, will be getting coins of Julia Maesa and Julia Mamaea next. :)

Maybe you could answer this for me. Did the empress Irene have any coins struck??
