Here's a nice one from @John Anthony 's most recent auction. It features Domitian on the obverse with a very good portrait, attractive green and desert patina and SC on the reverse encircled by a laurel wreath. Feel free to post any Domitian provincial issues or any Domitians at all in this thread. Domitian, A.D. 81-96 AE 25, 11.7 grams - SYRIA, Antioch ad Orontem Obverse: DOMITIANVS CAESAR, Laureate head left Reverse: Large SC within laurel wreath Reference: RPC 2016, BMC 246 Ex-Eng, Ex-JAZ, Ex-JB Good, Ex-Ira Ettinger Collection
Sweet, I got the one a week prior. There was a couple in that auction I wish I was able to get, yours being one of them. Nice addition. Hopefully I'll be able to take my own pics this weekend, even better in hand.
Nice OP coin! Here is a Syrian Domitian tetradrachm. Domitian AR Tetradrachm, 14.44g Antioch mint, 88-89 AD RPC 1978 (7 spec.). Obv: AYT KAIΣAP ΔOMITIANOΣ ΣEB ΓEPM; Bust of Domitian, laureate, r., with aegis Rev: ETOYΣ NEOY IEPOY H; Eagle with wings spread on thunderbolt to r.; in r. field, palm branch Acquired from Münzhandlung Ritter, April 2015. Perhaps engraved or struck in Alexandria for circulation in Syria.
Nice coins all! Here is my favourite Domitian. I love that you can see his beard on the portrait. The other think that sticks out is that nose of his. This was "fixed" on later issues. This one was minted in the first few weeks of his rule.
Nice! I like the portrait and the patina. Yours is an as; I have an Æ semis that is similar: Domitian as Caesar, AD 69-81 Roman provincial Æ semis; 6.93 g, 21.1 mm, 1 h Syria, Seleukis and Pieria, Antiochia ad Orontem, AD 69-81 Obv: DOMITIA-NVS CAESAR, laureate head left Rev: SC within laurel wreath Refs: SGI 872; BMC 20. 181, 251; Cohen 746; RPC II 2017; McAlee 403a.
Here is a right - left combination both from Antioch. 27mm 15.65g McAlee 406(d) starting in front of bust IMP DOMI[TIANVS C]AES AVG. He's looking kind of neanderthal with that heavy brow. Don't quite know what happened with that picture - oh well 25mm 15.10g McAlee 410(f) the legend starts in front of the bust again IMP DOMITIA[NVS CAES AVG]
