[QUOTE="Parthicus Maximus, post: 4871787, member: 102867"]Thank you for your interesting write-up. I find the story of Domitian's murder interesting, especially the fact that the murder was committed by court officials and not by senate affiliates. The fact that Stephanus (the attacker) succumbed to his injuries shortly after Domitian's death also suggests that the plot did not go according to plan. Here is a coin that was struck at the time that the Rome mint produced coins in very fine style. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/161126008bz-jpg.1078396/[/IMG] Domitian 81-96 AD AR Denarius Struck 86 AD (second issue) IMP•CAES DOMIT AVG•GERM P M TR P V. laureate head right IMP•XII COS XII CENS•P•P•P• Minerva standing right on capital of rostral column, holding spear and shield, owl at foot right (M2) 2,88g/20,5mm Ric 437 (R)[/QUOTE]
