Comment
Unpublished, cf. SNG von Aulock 6530 for similar reverse type (Gordian III, AE24).Interesting fact
The Julia Domna Tridrachm coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Roman Empire. It was issued during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus, who ruled from 193 to 211 AD. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the empire and was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time. Despite its age, many of these coins have survived to this day and are highly prized by collectors and historians.
