<p>[QUOTE="Colby J., post: 3847976, member: 107416"]After some immense cleaning and retouching I have finally gotten a portrait out of this stupid thing. The obverse head is of the emperor Domitian! This sestertius still needs a lot of work before it goes into my collection though. I think I have the coin: but I need to run it by you guys just to make sure. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> :O ;][ATTACH=full]1020251[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Domitian:</b></p><p><b>Material: </b>Bronze</p><p><b>Date:</b> AD 81</p><p><b>Denomination:</b> Æ Sestertius</p><p><b>Mint:</b> Rome</p><p><b>Obverse:</b> IMP CAES DIVI VESP F DOMITIAN AVG P M: Bust of Domitian, laureate, draped on left shoulder, right</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> TR P COS VII DES VIII P P S C: Minerva standing left, holding vertical spear in right hand</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So here's a different example that I found while researching.
