22mm. You do bring up a good point about how these coins appear physically smaller in size and weight than the corresponding regular issues....
For consistency sake, I have attributed it as an As because all the major references (RIC, BMC, and RPC) do so. The citations for the coins from...
I really don't have any doubts the mint is Rome. The various reasons why I believe so are stated in the OP. To my mind the bigger mystery is the...
Also, the BMC notes BNC 191 with poppies, but I digress ...
Most types missing in my Forvm gallery are quite scarce and not offered on a regular basis. At times, being a specialist requires the patience of Job
Never copy and paste attributions or accept them on face value. For instance, the Domitian As I posted earlier was attributed as BMC 884 - it is...
RSC uses Cohen's numbering system. If you are going to collect only silver Cohen is superfluous. Which is why in the past I never got a copy of...
Excellent! This rare issue from 83 is the first to introduce the 4 standard Minerva types. So, it's quite an important one for Domitian. Your...

My latest arrival is a pretty little semis which has a neat numismatic story behind it, not to mention a bit of a mystery. [ATTACH] Titus as...
That is a most auspicious beginning to your Flavian collection! What a wonderful rarity. And it is indeed a very rare coin! I will be looking...

I'm really glad you got that one. And it does appear to be the RIC plate coin. My example shares the same obverse die. [ATTACH]Domitian AR...
Excellent addition! I suppose my RIC 50 was one of the 'three'? [ATTACH]Titus AR Denarius, 3.29g Rome Mint, 79 AD Obv: IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN...
This is a list of books I have on my bookshelves that are of immense help with my Flavian fanaticism. I hope it is of some use. Primary Sources...
