<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2247541, member: 82616&quot;]Domitian&#039;s imperial acclamations were piling up fairly rapidly in 86 due to ongoing battles fought against the Dacians. This denarius from the fifth issue of 86 struck after mid September records his 14th imperial acclamation. Many of the denarii of 86 are rendered in fine style and are quite scarce, this coin being a delightful example of such.</p><p><br /></p><p>One would assume that denarii minted during a time of heavy campaigning with multiple imperial acclamations would be plentiful, but mysteriously that does not seem to be the case!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]444161[/ATTACH]</p><p><b> Domitian RIC 454 </b></p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>Rome mint, 86 AD</p><p>RIC 454 (R), BMC p. 320 †, RSC 208</p><p>Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P VI; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.</p><p>Rev: IMP XIIII COS XII CENS P P P; Minerva adv. r., with spear and shield (M1)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
