[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2353671, member: 31620"]So I tried to get some discipline with my collecting and then it all went out the window. I don't collect Flavian coins and had sold all of the ones in my collection. Then I saw this one and couldn't leave it sitting there staring at me. It is a common enough coin. It comes from an early issue and has a pleasing early style. There are golden hints and flow lines galore. There are a pair of scratches on the cheek that don't detract too much from an otherwise quite attractive coin. [B]Domitian denarius [/B] Obv:- IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M, Laureate head right Rev:- TR POT COS VIII P P, Minerva advancing right, wielding javelin and holding shield at the ready Minted in Rome. A.D. 82 Reference:– RIC II New 98 (Rated C). [IMG]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_035p_img.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
