IVNO REGINA and IVNONI REGINAE - This |legend| is never seen on coins of the emperors, except one of |Claudius| |Gothicus|.
But as the venerated queen of deities, |Juno| was a favourite patroness of th empresses, and thus she appears on coins of Sabina, Lucilla, Faustina Junior, Manlia Scantilla, Julia Soaemias, Etruscilla, Cornelia Supera, and others. With some of the Augustae, the |inscription| (in the dative case) was simply a dedication of the |medal| to the honour of the goddess; with others it was a positive appropriation of the name in flattery to the emperor 's wife, who was herself in a concealed manner represented under the figure of Juno.
