Lydia, Domitian

I'm pretty stoked about this coin. Just the right amount of wear. Got it at the FUN show today at Pegasi (Hangin' out with @ancientcoinguru ), great dealer and a great price! Also met @Theodosius there, always a pleasure to meet a fellow CTer! I'll post some more coins tomorrow.

I you have any Domitian coins please pile on!!

Very nice Aidan_(), always wanted an Artemis coin, one day hopefully.

 

Nice coin, that must be rare!

I don't think I have anything with Artemis.

Only Domitian I have photographed is this denarius:

My only Domitian:

 

nice! i've developed a fondness for provincials, but no Artemis's here.. just ole Domitian with some other deities in silver and bronze made closer to the home base

 

Neat OP Domitian! It's always nice to have good memories attached to a coin purchase.

I have way too many Domitian's to share, but here is one I don't think I've shown on CT before. A denarius that isn't a Minerva type!

Love the posts everyone!!

I lack any provincials but I do have several denarii and two 'bronzes'---a sestertius and a dupondius with..... Fides and Minerva reverses:

 

Thanks guys, this coin is going into my "top coins" list.

These are my two Domitian coins.
First is RCVS 2723 Domitian as Augustus Rome AD 88 reverse with Herald advancing with Shield issued to commemorate the Secular Games in Rome in October AD 88.
Second is RCVS 2731 also AD 88 reverse with Minerva standing holding a spear.

I only have a couple Domitians:

RI Domitian AR Denarius 81-96 CE Minerva spear shield COS XVI CENS PPP RIC 719

 

Very clear legend

 

i have a lone domitian, but cult statue of artemis is very much on my list!

 

I liked your Artemis @Aidan_() , so I thought that I would throw a couple in...
