<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jay GT4, post: 3229515, member: 88526&quot;]Got 2 new Flavians at the Torex coin show last week.&nbsp; Just getting around to posting them here.&nbsp; I&#039;ve always wanted a Domitian wolf and twin denarius but most are pretty rough and worn.&nbsp; This one is no exception but it is better than average.&nbsp; It&#039;ll do for now.&nbsp; Rated as common in RIC they&#039;re actually not that easy to find.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]843005[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-150515" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-150515" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-150515</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b>RIC 961 Domitian denarius</b></p><p>CAESAR AVG F DOMITIANVS</p><p>Laureate head of Domitian right</p><p><br /></p><p>COS V</p><p>Wolf and twins; in exergue boat</p><p><br /></p><p>Rome, 77-78 AD</p><p><br /></p><p>3.45g</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC 961 (C2)</p><p><br /></p><p>Ex-Calgary Coin</p><p><br /></p><p>And I&#039;ve always loved big Imperial portraits.&nbsp; Usually I go for Cistophoric teradrachms because of their fine style and silver.
