<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 1398813, member: 8959&quot;]Here is an interesting denarius struck under Domitian to commemorate the Saecular games of 88 AD. I had been looking for one for quite some time and this one came up recently. It shows a nice amount of detail, and I was glad to be able to buy it for what I thought was a reasonable price. </p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian also struck asses and dupondii to commemorate the games, showing flute players and Domitian himself performing ritual ceremonies in front of a temple. A very interesting series of coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian. 81-96 AD. Denarius, Rome, 88-9 AD. Obv: Head laureate right. Rx: On right, herald standing left, wearing cap with two feathers, holding wand and round shield ornamented with bust of Minerva; in center, incense burner (candelabrum) standing on three feet; on left, column inscribed COS / XIIII / LVD / SAEC / FEC in five lines.&nbsp; Struck to commemorate the Saecular Games celebrated by Domitian in 88 AD: not present in Reka Devnia </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I thought I would share.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
