Julia Domna Silver Denarius with Venus reverse, Ancient roman coin

This is a nice Denarius from the empress Julia Domna who was the wife of Septimius Severus and was minted in A.D. 193-211. On the reverse it features the goddess Venus standing right, holding apple and palm, resting on column to left.

Julia Domna, of Arab descent, reigned as empress from 193 to 211 A.D., as the wife of emperor Septimius Severus. Her sons Caracalla and Geta fought for the succession with Geta being assassinated in 211 A.D. at the age of 22. When her other son Caracella was assassinated in A.D. 217, Julia Domna who was suffering from breast cancer committed suicide.

It is in extremely fine condition which is amazing for being over 1800 years old with such crisp details and would be a fantastic addition to a numismatic collection.
