Herennia Etruscilla Silver Coins

Antioch Mint.  Unless otherwise noted, coins are from the collection of H Grodon.  One interesting point Mr Grodon makes is that "The mint of Rome has two different types of coiffures; the one with ridges and bun, and the other with lank hair and a plait going up the back of the head. The mint of Antioch often mixes both types.".
