Roman Empire. Julia Mamaea (Augusta, AD 222-235). Denarius - FELICITAS PVBLICA (No reserve price)

Julia Mamaea, mother of Emperor Alexander Severus and Augusta from AD 222 to 235, played a significant role in the Severan dynasty's governance. Denarii issued during her regency often depicted "Felicitas Publica," symbolizing public happiness, good fortune, and prosperity granted to the Roman people. This personification was commonly used on coins to communicate the benevolence of imperial authority towards civic welfare. The denarius was the main silver coin and a key element of Roman monetary circulation. Coins bearing such motifs offer insights into the political messaging of imperial women and the broader socio-political climate of early 3rd-century Rome, of interest to collectors and historians specializing in the Severan period and Roman coinage.
