<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2726671, member: 82616&quot;]Recently I was able to acquire a fairly rare Domitian denarius struck in the first few months of his reign. Before landing in my PO box, it apparently toured the Eastern Seaboard for a couple of weeks. I&#039;m glad it finally made it &#039;home&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]619018[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Domitian</b></p><p>AR Denarius, 3.15g</p><p>Rome Mint, 81 AD</p><p>RIC 72 (R2), BMC - , RSC 575a</p><p>Obv: IMP CAES DIVI VESP F DOMITIAN AVG P M; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.</p><p>Rev: TR P COS VII DES VIII P P; Seat, draped; above, winged thunderbolt</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is a carry-over pulvinaria type from Titus&#039; coinage with an added touch of filial piety on the obverse.

This is only the second denarius with the legend variant I&#039;ve been able to obtain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
