Among the, now lost, hoard of Roman coins presented by Filipova, three were the coins of the female dynasts of the Severan dynasty with the VENVS VICTRIX legend on the reverse. The article examines the iconography of the coins in the light of the previous examples of the issues with the same legend. The conclusion is made that the reference to the goddess ideologically linked the dynasty with the predecessors however special reverence might also suggest an exceptional religious connection of the empresses with Venus, the deity which guaranteed in all her incarnations and aspects the permanence of the domus divina.

The article discusses unique iconography of the denarius of Julia Maesa from the British Museum [inv. 1992,0509.184]. The inscription of the reverse states Venus Victrix however the set of attri-butes does not match the conventional images of the goddess. This iconographic bricolage of various goddesses can be interpreted in terms of dynastic cult of the empresses of the Severan dynasty but also, as message addressed to Syrian army and population at the time of war against Macrinus. Such possibility would allow to date the coin to the first half of 218.
