                                Description

     This piece was minted in the name of Julia Maesa, who was the
     grandmother of both Elagabalus and Severus Alexander. She was
     largely responsible for the rebellion which overthrew Macrinus
     and restored the Severan dynasty to power. She survived the
     assassination of Elagabalus, and died in 225 AD, during the reign
     of Alexander. The obverse of this type depicts the diademed &
     draped bust of Julia Maesa facing right, with legends
     IVLIA.MAESA.AVGVSTA. The reverse features Pudicitia seated left,
     holding sceptre, with legends PVDICITIA.SC. Coin shows some minor
     surface porosity, green patina, and a lacquered reverse area with
     museum number and the remains of an old paper mounting strip, but
     otherwise grades F/AF, with clear devices and partial legends.
     Coin was formerly part of the collection of the San Francisco
     Museum of Fine Arts, who recently deaccessioned their ancient
     coin holdings. This piece was number 27130. A decent and very
     affordable former museum example of this scarcer type, catalouged
     as Sear 2187. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped on
     clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales
     tax. MC/Visa accepted for orders of $20 or more. For more
     ancients, please visit my WWW page at
     http://www.philly.infi.net/~mdgeary/ . Thanks!

                                  Bidding

       Ex-Museum Pudicitia Sestertius of JULIA MAESA (Item #41322106)

                        Current bid          $21.50
                        Bid increment         $0.50
                        Minimum bid          $22.00

Registration required. eBay requires registration in order to bid. Find out

        Current minimum bid is 22.00
       Your maximum bid.

       Please type only numerals and the decimal point (if
       required). Do not include a dollar sign ('$') or commas
       (',').

       Binding contract.
            Placing a bid is a binding contract in many states. Do
       not bid unless you intend to buy this item at the amount of
       your bid.

       Proxy bidding for all bids
            Please bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay
       for this item. Your maximum amount will be kept secret; eBay
       will bid on your behalf as necessary by increasing your bid
       by the current bid increment up until your maximum is
       reached. This saves you the trouble of having to keep track
       of the auction as it proceeds and prevents you from being
       outbid at the last minute unless your spending limit is
       exceeded. (See an example of proxy bidding). Also, in case
       of a tie for high bidder, earlier bids take precedence. And,
       keep in mind that you cannot reduce your maximum bid at a
       later date. Unless otherwise noted, bids are in U.S.
       dollars.
            If you have bid on this item before, note that your new
       bid must be greater than your previous bid.
