Commentary
Normalement ce type n’existe que pour le sesterce ou l’as. Nous sommes techniquement sur un flan de dupondius, mais avec un as car nous n’avons pas de croissant, marque du dupondius depuis 215 et la création de l’antononien. Semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Le seul exemplaire que nous ayons proposé venait de ROME IV, n° 224 .

We are technically on a flan of dupondius, but with an ace because we do not have a crescent, mark of the dupondius since 215 and the creation of the antonianus. Seems much rarer than general works suggest. The only example we have proposed came from ROME IV, no. 224

Historical background
JULIA MAMAEA
(+235)
Daughter of Julia Maesa, mother of Severus Alexander - Augusta
Julia Mamée is the daughter of Julia Maésa and the sister of Julia Soémias. She belongs to this great line of Syrian empresses immortalized by Jean Babelon. Julia Mamée is the granddaughter of the priest of the cult of the Black Stone of Emesa, of which Elagabalus is the best known representative. Like her aunt Domna, her mother or her sister, Julia Mamée is an intriguer. However, she marries a small procurator of Syrian origin but will do everything to promote the promotion of her offspring. She will first intrigue to overthrow her nephew Elagabalus in order to promote the elevation of her son. Throughout the reign of Alexander Severus, she will be omnipresent and hold the reins of power. She maintains a circle of philosophers, including Origen, and Christian sympathy is attributed to her. She is murdered with her son.
