My new Domitan / Pegasus

I wanted to share my new Domitian / Pegasus, that arrived yesterday, and I am well pleased. It does have some flan damage in front of Domitian's eye and also his chin, but I shall forgive that.
It is just a nice, simple coin, not perfectly struck, and well worn (as I like them).
Yes, I feel warm inside.
Please feel free to post your Domitian / Pegasus coins.

I don't know much about ancients, but I like the design.

 

Nice example of a desirable type! Additional attribution: BMC V193, RSC 47.

 

Still a very nice coin. The reverse is pretty solid.

 

nice portrait, cool pegasus!

i've posted my one domitian many times, but haven't posted this little greek pegasus much...

Cool coin!! Love the Pegasos reverse!!

I recently purchased a Domitian Sestertius to go along with my long held denarius-------and now I'm after a dupondius......

My only 'Pegasus' is a coin of Gallienus missing from my sestertius of Domitian:

 

Nice one... I'd like one of these at some point.

The Flavians were big on reviving coin types that were used in earlier periods. Here's an Augustus denarius with the reverse that provided the template for the OP coin.

 

I love these Domitian coins. Your new coin TC is really nice. I have one of the type:

 

Here is my Gallienus "zoo series" Pegasus:

GALLIENVS AVG
SOLI CONS AVG
19 mm. 3.07 grams.
RIC Sole reign 283K, Rome mint.
Sear 10362.

 

I really love seeing the original proto-types of many of the Flavian types. Thanks for sharing it!

 

Thank-you everyone for your kind words.
Thank you Vespasian70 for the additional 'ref's'.
@>Bing. - Wow! Your coin has the legend DOMITIANVS finishing at his collar, like mine. Most have it carrying on under the bust.

 

That's a sweet OP-example, Topcat (congrats)

... here is a Hadrian Pegasus ...

 

You know how to rub it in, Steve.
(You didn't know, but,) I just recently lost out on one of these and I still feel 'raw' about it.
Very nice coin, by the way.
Good (almost) central strike and very little wear where it counts. It would look good in any collection.
