<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 7671538, member: 74968&quot;]I am posting this even though I know the eyes of many will glaze over with boredom because it is another denarius of Domitian with a Minerva. However, as a friend told me a little while ago, who cares, it is my coin. In the end, I like it and that is good enough for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are 5 issues of precious metal coinage for Domitian in 86 CE. With the addition of this coin, I am only missing a coin from issue #4. Within these 5 issues there are only 2 common coins. These include 1 denarius and 1 quinarius. So, in the whole year of 86 CE there is only one common denarius! </p><p><br /></p><p>I am very happy to add this coin from issue #3. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now let us talk about the coin itself. I have often commented that the portraits of Domitian on the denarii between the years of 84-88 have some great portraits. I hope that you will agree that this one is indeed in fine style. To me it is a very sympathetic portrait of Domitian.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post any Domitian denarii from 86 CE or your favourite coin of Domitian.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian AR denarius, Rome mint 86 CE (third Issue)</p><p>(3.09 g)</p><p>Obv: Laureate head right; IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P VI</p><p>Rev: Minerva standing right on capital of rostral column, with spear and shield; owl to right IMP XII COS XII CENS P P P</p><p>RIC 446</p><p>Purchased from Kolner on MA shops June 11, 2021</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1318089[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
