<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 1507313, member: 39084&quot;]This is the first of my coins that I classify in the subcategory &quot;12 Caesars Emperors with scruffy beards.&quot;&nbsp; It also qualifies in the subcategory of &quot;animals on the reverse&quot; so it&#039;s a two-for-one coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]194175.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>DOMITIAN 81 - 96 A.D.</p><p>AR Denarius (3.59 g.)&nbsp; Rome 73 A.D.</p><p>CAES AVG F DOMIT COS II&nbsp; Laureate head right.&nbsp; Rev. Domitian riding on horse prancing left, holding scepter in left hand and raising right</p><p>RIC Vespasian 680</p><p><br /></p><p>This one appealed to me for the sharpness of the obverse plus the somewhat unusual toning.&nbsp; I&#039;ll also note that my sestertius and as of Domitian do not portray him with the scruffy beard so maybe his wife prevailed on him to shave for those portraits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
