[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 25264316, member: 87809"]Can't say if it is Domitian. The obverse legend seems to have the letters MI but maybe I'm seeing something that is not there. On the reverse the letters are ΠЄΡΓAM(HN]ΩN therefore it should be from the Pergamon mint depicting Artemis (?) holding a bow and an arrow. Have been searching for it at the BM Catalogue Mysia and all the Pergamon entries at wildwinds, not to mention RPC and acsearch, with no success. The obverse portrait looks quite angry, maybe it is not Domitian; it has a countermark on the neck, which seems to be a standing eagle.:confused: I am very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction. AE 26; 7.715 g [ATTACH=full]1611900[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1611901[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
