<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3378158, member: 74968&quot;]This coin is a group one Domitian denarius issued in his first few months as Augustus in 81 CE. Domitian&#039;s first coins as Augustus are carry overs from Titus&#039; denarii. This included the ubiquitous Pulvinar series. There is mystery concerning these Domitian denarii. Usually one can figure out the chronology of the coins from the imperial titles bestowed and or accepted by the ruler. This is not the case for the denarii of groups 1-4. James Hazelton on his blog has an interesting theory regarding the chronology on his excellent blog.&nbsp; <a href="https://hazeltoncoll.com/article.php/tr-p-whatever-reconsidering-domitians-accepted-dies-comitialis/lH5nhNJbF8" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://hazeltoncoll.com/article.php/tr-p-whatever-reconsidering-domitians-accepted-dies-comitialis/lH5nhNJbF8" rel="nofollow">https://hazeltoncoll.com/article.php/tr-p-whatever-reconsidering-domitians-accepted-dies-comitialis/lH5nhNJbF8</a></p><p><br /></p><p>James also has a post on this coin. <a href="https://hazeltoncoll.com/article.php/the-commemorative-issue-of-81-part-2-domitian-denarius-ric-2-festina-lente/chwxNRy89s" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://hazeltoncoll.com/article.php/the-commemorative-issue-of-81-part-2-domitian-denarius-ric-2-festina-lente/chwxNRy89s" rel="nofollow">https://hazeltoncoll.com/article.php/the-commemorative-issue-of-81-part-2-domitian-denarius-ric-2-festina-lente/chwxNRy89s</a></p><p>James claims that this coin is not a Pulvinar issue at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not a coin one sees very often. I know James has one and I know that [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] has one as well. When I saw this pop up I had to buy it. I might have wished for a coin in better condition, but when you deal with rarities you sometimes have to accept what the market provides.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]896571[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian, Denarius, 81 Rome (Group 1)</p><p>Obv: Laureate head of Domitian right., IMP CAESAR DOMITIANVS AVG</p><p>Rev: Dolphin coiled around anchor.,TR P COS VII</p><p>RIC:2,</p><p>Purchased from Numiscorner on Vcoins</p><p>February 23, 2019[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
