<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus Maximus, post: 4206875, member: 102867&quot;]I&#039;m very happy with my new addition. This coin has been on my watch list at Ma-shops for quite a while.&nbsp; Every time I saw the coin I felt attracted to the portrait.&nbsp; Since the coin had been on sale for quite a while, I decided to make an offer. It was accepted quickly.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1078396[/ATTACH] </p><p>Domitian 81-96 AD</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>Struck 86 AD (second issue)</p><p>IMP•CAES DOMIT AVG•GERM P M TR P V.</p><p>laureate head right</p><p>IMP•XII COS XII CENS•P•P•P•</p><p>Minerva standing right on capital</p><p>of rostral column, holding spear and shield, owl at foot right (M2)</p><p>2,88g/20,5mm</p><p>Ric 437 (R)</p><p>Ex Historische Münzen &amp; Medaillen</p><p><br /></p><p>Like my previous one, the coin comes from the second issue of 86 AD. It was mainly a coincidence that my second Denarius of Domitian as Augustus comes from the same issue as the first. A nice goal could be to collect all four types of this issue.&nbsp; However, there is a risk that the other coins will not appear fast, which is quite possible because most of the coins from 86 AD are fairly rare.</p><p>The coin also has nice rainbow toning, it is a nice bonus but it was not one of the reasons to buy this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian quickly changed from imperial titles in the year 86. All this to do with the fact that he and Cornelius Fuscus (the Praetorian prefect) launched an offensive against the Dacians, which would ultimately lead to a dramatic defeat that killed almost Fuscus entire army.&nbsp; Domitian and Fuscus left to Dacia, after the Dacians invaded the Province of Moesia under the direction of possibly Decebalus. The Dacians inflicted a huge defeat on the Romans, Governor Oppius Sabinus and one whole legion were completely defeated. This caused Domitian and Fuscus to leave to Moesia.&nbsp; There the order was restored, which gave Domitian a number of imperial acclamations. Although there is little documentation about this period, most historians agree that Domitian then returned to Rome.&nbsp; However, Fuscus undertook a campaign deep into Dacia.&nbsp; Fuscus was initially successful until he and his army were ambushed and completely defeated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian was then forced to conclude a peace treaty. Often this disadvantageous treaty Domitian is charged. However, the question is whether this is justified.&nbsp; Domitian was confronted with the greatest turmoil on the borders of the entire first century.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please show your rainbow toned coins, nice Domitians or anything else that is relevant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
