Coin of Antiocheia Pisidiae under Julia Domna c. 2th - 3th century

Editor: This is a coin from Antiocheia Pisidiae, likely minted under Julia Domna, wife of Septimius Severus. It's quite weathered, evoking a sense of history and time. How do you read this piece? Curator: I feel a connection to antiquity, seeing a personal story made public on currency. The coin whispers of Julia Domna’s power and influence, her image a political statement. What do you make of the wear and tear? Editor: It makes me think about how many hands it passed through. Curator: Precisely! It’s like holding a tiny piece of a vast, interconnected past. Editor: I never thought about it that way. I'm so glad you were here to point it out. Curator: My pleasure; until next time!
