ANCIENTS - Domitian as caesar - rare leftie

Left facing portraits of Domitian are rare in general. When I saw this one I had to pull the trigger despite it not being the finest condition. This one seems quite rare.

Domitian denarius
Obv:- CAESAR AVG F [D]OMITIANVS, Laureate head of Domitian to left
Rev:- Horseman galloping to right, right hand raised; below, COS V
Minted in Rome. A.D. 77-78
Reference:– RIC II new p. 128, 958 (Vespasian) (R3) citing one example from a private collection.

Rare with left facing portrait.

Very nice! It looks totally wrong.

 

I'd welcome it. I think it's marvelous. Love the scowl in the eyes.

 

Wowzers => that's a sweet new pick-up, Martin (congrats)

Yah sadly, all I have is this stinkin' right-facing example!! (*retch*)





Martin => that's a super new addition (well played, coin-brother)
