<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 2566458, member: 8959&quot;]I specially like the portrait of Domitian on your coin, Parthicus. It has a very nice, impressive style. Nice purchase!</p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian is another of those emperors who reputation was perhaps unfairly described</p><p>by his contemporaries due to ulterior motives. More recent research has revealed</p><p>a different picture. Whatever the case, he certainly was not a push-over and maybe autocratic in his rule, but he was also an able military commander and was very active in campaigns in Germania against the tribe of the Chattii in central Germany.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an aureus in my collection of Domitian as Caesar under Vespasian.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p><b>DOMITIANUS CAESAR</b>, 69-81.
