<p>[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 7319787, member: 74968"]I know for many the Minerva denarii for Domitian can be very boring. After all, there does not seem to be much variation just Minerva upon Minerva. However, there are exceptions. The Minerva holding victory is one such exception and this coin is an example of another. Sure it is Minerva on the reverse but not an ordinary one. This is Minerva Victrix and she is winged. While this coin is not rare it is very much sought after even by those who might only want one or 2 Domitian denarii (though of course I do not understand that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ).
