A newly unearthed inscription might date the eruption of Mount Vesuvius to late October!...
I will say one thing, Domitian's mint ensured this will not be an easy task!
I believe that all of Domitian's denarii of 81 were struck for this purpose. The fact that the coins show his imperial titles evolving over time...
Domitian's group 2 denarii from 81 are very rare. They all have an unusual reverse legend arrangement of P P COS VII DES VIII in combination with...
Wow. That is a surprising low number! It would be interesting to know what comparable numbers would be for CoinTalk. Domitian number one? :cigar:

Still, a very nice coin. Congrats!
Glad to see you got another 'whale' Randy!

Once I had someone email me asking why I described both Titus and Domitian as 'bearded' in my Forvm gallery. He stated that he was writing a...
@Deacon Ray, both coins are quite exquisite. Very nice details on the Domitian too - you can even see traces of his mutton chop beard.
