                                Description

     This piece was minted in the name of Lucilla, who was the wife of
     Lucius Verus, who ruled between 161 and 169 AD. She was married
     to Verus in 164 AD, and after his death in 169, she was married
     to Pompeianus, a man of comparatively humble origin. In 182, she
     was involved in a plot against her brother, Commodus, and was
     banished to Capreae and put to death soon afterwards. The obverse
     of this type depicts the draped bust of Lucilla facing right,
     with legends LVCILLAE.AVG.ANTONINI.AVG.F. The reverse features
     Vesta standing left, sacrificing out of simpulum over lighted
     altar and holding palladium. The legends read VESTA. Coin is
     struck on a slightly irregular flan, but otherwise grades AVF,
     with clear to bold devices and most legends clear. A nice example
     of the type, catalouged as RSC-92. 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 our WWW site at
