<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3337901, member: 74968&quot;]This arrived today and I am very happy with it. It has some hardened dirt on it but I will leave it as it is.

Group 2 denarii have PP COS VII DES VIII, but they are very rare (check [USER=1969]@david[/USER] Atherton’s posts as he has one). However, group 3 denarii are more accessible. The legend is different however. Rather than having the PP title at the beginning of the legend the PP title is at the end. The legend on group 3 denarii reads: COS VII DES VIII PP. The coin I bought from Victor is a group 3 denarius with this legend.</p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian</p><p>A.D. 81</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>18x19mm 3.2gm</p><p>IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M; laureate head right.</p><p>COS VII DES VIII P P; Seat, draped; above, semicircular triangular frame decorated with three crescents.</p><p>RIC II Rome 32</p><p>Purchased from Victor Clark</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]884103[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
