<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2302199, member: 82616&quot;]In late summer 92 AD an issue of denarii were struck for Domitian with an exceedingly rare dating combination of TR P XI and IMP XXII. A few dies with IMP XXI were altered with an additional &#039;I&#039;, which can be seen here squeezed before COS on the reverse. Perhaps word of the new imperial acclamation reached the mint the same day this coin was struck. The acclamation was likely awarded for victories against the Suebi and Sarmatians near the close of the campaigning season. The issue could not have been minted after September 14th when Domitian became TR P XII.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]462682[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Domitian</b></p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>Rome mint, 92 AD</p><p>RIC 735 (R2), BMC - , RSC -</p><p>Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P XI; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.</p><p>Rev: IMP XXII COS XVI CENS P P P; Minerva adv r., with spear and shield (M1)</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your altered dies![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
