<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 1878391, member: 57495&quot;]I picked this one up on impulse.&nbsp; I find the anepigraphic reverse simple but striking, and I always like coins that wear their Fine condition well.&nbsp; Domitian is usually described as carrying a &quot;sceptre with human head&quot; on the reverse, but even on examples in better condition than mine, it really doesn&#039;t look like anything as macabre as a human head.&nbsp; Pity.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Imperial era denarii with reverses that bear no legend seem rather scarce as a group, even though issues like this may rate a &#039;common&#039; in RIC and are not terribly expensive.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t seen too many other such Imperial era anepigraphic denarii - please post them if you have them!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]318113[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>DOMITIAN, as Caesar</b></p><p>Denarius (3.1g, 19mm)</p><p>Rome mint, 73 - 75 AD.</p><p>RIC (Vespasian) 680; RSC 664.</p><p>O: CAES AVG F DOMIT COS II, laureate head right.</p><p>R: Domitian togate on horse left, raising right hand and brandishing sceptre with human head in left.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
