I have to agree with Tif. They look perfectly fine as is.
Congrats Orfew! You have reached a very important Roman numismatic milestone. After the Augustus, what's next?
That's a really good question Mikey. Many of Domitian's coin portraits are highly idealised and polished and show him with a full head of hair,...
I read the book a couple of years ago and found it dull and nothing more than a rehash of Suetonius. If one was looking for an excellent popular...
For the issue no, but for this particular series yes ( I hope that makes sense!). When Domitian raised the fineness of the denarius in early 82...
Yes, your coin has the same M4 Minerva type from a later issue. The portrait is in good style too!
Awesome coin and interesting info about it zumbly!
I wish to share an awesome Domitian denarius the postman delivered over the weekend. [ATTACH] Domitian AR Denarius Rome mint, 85 AD RIC 339...

Super coin at a bargain price! Congrats on your new acquisition.
Beautiful coin and excellent write-up!
Nice coin Greg! Funnily enough, my first ever ancient coin was this exact same Pax type struck by Vespasian too! Purchased from a now defunct...
It's nice to see a good outcome to a postal nightmare. I agree with Mat, your picture is much better and does the coin justice.
Nice addition Bing! This type was one of the first I purchased of the old soldier many, many years ago. A few years later I was able to add this...
This is what I'd call a typical common Domitian denarius. I love it!
A nice example of the Minerva holding Victory type struck early in the reign. Too bad that pose was never standardised along with the other four...
Nice that you got a non-Tribute Penny type of Tiberius Orfew!
Thanks Steve! You have a great example there. The four standard Minerva types struck by Domitian must've been copied from well known generic "in...
Well done! The first denarius you post has the quite rare imperial acclamation 17. I don't have that one with the capital of rostral column and...
Awesome rare variant! I love the style of these eastern denarii.
