| Note | BMC 1528 was attributed to Julia Paula in BMC, followed by Vogt, and would have been the only coin known for her of year 2. But it is a coin of Julia Maesa, as can clearly be read: see J. Rea, ZPE 96 (1993), p. 130. Mionnet 2537 listed another coin for Paula of year 2, but also with a partial inscription. |
