[QUOTE="David Atherton, post: 8348993, member: 82616"]This coin took over three months to get to me from France. The package accidentally was sent to Spain by La Poste where it spent most of that travel time. Perhaps it was clubbing in Ibzia? At any rate, I'm glad it finally arrived! [ATTACH=full]1481112[/ATTACH][B]Domitian[/B] AR Didrachm, 6.91g Rome mint (for Cappadocia), 93-94 AD Obv: AYT KAI ΔOMITIANOC CЄBACTOC ΓЄPM; Head of Domitian, laureate, r. Rev: ЄTO ΙΓ; Club RPC 1670 (37 spec.). Acquired from Odysseus, February 2022. Near the end of Domitian's reign, the mint at Rome struck silver drachms and didrachms for circulation in Cappadocia, all of which can be dated to 93-94 AD. They can be distinguished as Rome mint issues by their style and 6 o'clock die axis. This fairly common didrachm features a club on the reverse, an attribute of Hercules. Please share your coins with a Hercules theme or any that took a wayward journey to arrive. Thanks for looking![/QUOTE]
