<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2859265, member: 82616&quot;]I actually find later depictions of Minerva on Roman denarii quite interesting. Seeing how they differ from the standard four Domitian issued is fascinating. Your Minerva approximates Domitian&#039;s type 3 Minerva, with the addition of an owl instead of a thunderbolt.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]680422[/ATTACH]<b>Domitian</b> </p><p>AR Denarius, 3.20g</p><p>Rome mint, 85 AD (fifth issue)</p><p>RIC 344 (R2), BMC - , RSC 186</p><p>Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P V; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.</p><p>Rev: IMP VIIII COS XI CENS POT P P; Minerva stg. l., with thunderbolt and spear; shield at her side (M3)</p><p>Ex CNG E363, 11 November 2015, lot 319.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
