Egypt, Alexandria. Julia Domna, 193-217. Drachm (Bronze, 33.31 mm, 23.36 g). Dated RY 22 of Caracalla = AD 213/4. IOYΛIA ΔOMNA CЄB MHTЄPC TPA Bust right. Rev. K B (date); Securitas in the guise of Aphrodite left, seated on throne, wearing crown, chiton and peplos. She is holding in her left hand a small stuff resting on the belly and her right hand to her head, while resting her right elbow on a shield placed over a column. Behind Securitas is a tortile column with Ionic capital upon which is the shield with laureate head of Capitoline Zeus to right. Emmett 2876 (5). Dattari 4040 (this specimen), Plate IV (this obverse illustrated) and Plate XXIV (this reverse illustrated). From Giovanni Dattari collection. Ex Kunst und Münzen, Lugano, Auction XXII, 2-4.04. 1981, lot 355. Despite the two coeval holes made on the coin without defacing the engraved figures, this drachm is in excellent preservation, sharp and legible in every detail and covered with a shining original black anthracite patina. Unique specimen taken from the famous collection of Giovanni Dattari, as unique in the Alexandrian coinage is the scene that appears on the reverse which, given the presence on the shield of the Capitoline Zeus, can be interpreted as an expression of the clearly Roman-centric spirit of Caracalla in the management of the empire that ensured its safety. A therefore relevant historical-political message through the concrete and public means of money.
