<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 2826647, member: 85693&quot;]Thanks for that write up, David.&nbsp; I really appreciated the detail and the date range on Domitian&#039;s titles that you provided.&nbsp; I have a couple of very average denarii of Domitian with the Minerva standing reverse.&nbsp; The one on the left is one of the first ancients I ever purchased, in 1988.&nbsp; The one on the right I got this year, almost 30 years later.&nbsp; Apparently I never grew up:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]665199[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never been able to fully attribute the one on the left because of missing legends.&nbsp; Both are pretty worn and difficult to figure out.&nbsp; This is the best I came up with:</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Domitian (81-96 A.D.)</b></p><p>IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR [??] P [?] laureate head right / IMP X [??] [COS] [??] II CENS P P P, Minerva standing left with spear. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other one is worn, but I think I could make out this:</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Domitian (Sep. 13, 95 A.D.-Sep. 12, 96 A.D.) </b></p><p>IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P XV, laureate head right / IMP XXII [COS XVII] CENS PPP, Minerva standing left w. spear.&nbsp; RIC 790</p><p><br /></p><p>I liked that the second example is so late in Domitian&#039;s reign (if my attribution&#039;s correct - corrections welcome).&nbsp; Just before the daggers plunged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
