In hindsight, that would've been wise. I was more concerned about losing the coin at some point during the trip!
I visited the museum specifically to see the Domitian bust and had no idea there was a Lucius Verus bust too. Besides, I collect only Flavian...
Yes, 'You can never have enough mirrors!'.
Neither did I! My pictures don't do the museum justice. It is really worth a day trip whenever you get a chance.
Yes! There is also a great portrait bust opposite Domitian of a 'Flavian Lady' which for some inexplicable reason I didn't take a picture of.
Well, I collect only three emperors, so it would be quite doable!
Sorry, Toledo, OH. It really is a world class art museum with so much to see. This photo gives a better context of how the Domitian bust is...

Back in the 80s archaeologist Gordon Maxwell used this method to locate Roman sites in Scotland. It revolutionised how people envisioned Roman...
Both coins are fairly scarce. The first coin because the last year of Vespasian's reign had his smallest issue and it's a left facing portrait....
I guess I can pile on too. My Domitian denarius with Fortuna. [ATTACH] Domitian AR Denarius, 3.70g Rome Mint, 82 AD Domitian, denarius RIC 141...
Nobody really knows. Perhaps a clue can be seen in the smaller quantities of denarii that were struck during the reform. By 88 the levels had been...
I'm not sure where the author of this blog article got his information because it is factually incorrect on several points. The first major...
Me too. Domitian's portraits start to become more ho-hum and perfunctory around the early 90s, luckily a few talented engravers stayed on and...
