[QUOTE="fomovore, post: 4555331, member: 72663"]I've been slowly getting through the ID backlog and I got stuck at this as - I can't match the obverse to the reverse. I think it's an as of Domitian, as caesar under Titus. 22mm, 11g and 12h. The obverse is CAES DIVI AVG VESP F DOMITIAN[B]VS[/B] COS VII, laureate head right. The reverse is Minerva standing left, holding thunderbolt and spear, shield at her side, S-C in fields. For this obverse, I'm only finding the reverses with Minerva walking (e.g. [URL]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/domitian/RIC_0314[titus].txt[/URL] ). All "standing Minervas" have CAES DIVI AVG VESP F DOMITIAN COS VII on the obverse. Sears vol 1 and Wildwinds - no match. What I am missing? EDIT: I was missing that I was missing nothing. I've confused the legends. D'oh.[/QUOTE]
