MARINIAN DIVA. Antoninian. (See 3.82g/22mm). 256-257 AD Rome. (RIC 3). Obv: diademed and draped bust of Mariniana above right crescent, around legend: DIVAE MARINIANAE. Rev: real frontal, around legend: CONSECRATIO. Good Extremely Fine. Remains of original shine. Nice specimen, scarce like that.

We know little about Mariniana, beyond her portraits on coins and that these are posthumous since she died before her husband, Valeriano I, was named emperor. However, what is really striking about this copy is the reverse where a real is the great protagonist. The presence of animals and specifically birds is not alien to Roman currency, we have many examples and the real, in addition to being an almost revered animal and symbol of immortality, was identified as Juno's sacred bird. The empresses of the Flavian era accepted it to be associated with it and, in addition, it served to indicate its apotheosis after death.
