Message:: [QUOTE="Parthicus Maximus, post: 7286921, member: 102867"]Domitian's denarii from 85 are quite rare. I had been looking for one for more than a year, but until last week without success. Last week I got a message from [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] that a rare 85 was listed. I bought it directly. [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] thanks again for your help. The coin is in a particularly good style, but it does have a fairly large crack. That has given me a sense of doubt. However, these rarely come onto the market and the question is whether I would ever find one other than this one. 85 is perhaps the most interesting year at the mint during Domitian's reign.  Countless new types were introduced in bronze.  For example, this was the first year in which Germania capta sestertii were issued. Silver also underwent the necessary development during this year.  Domitian had assumed the new censor title and on the denarii that title appears in different ways.
