[QUOTE="David Atherton, post: 4164521, member: 82616"]Superb coin! But that is RIC 816, which does not depict the Temple of Jupiter. The temple in question is quite a mystery!

Darwell-Smith speculated it is the Temple of Jupiter Custos, and M. Tameanko believed it to be the Temple of Divus Augustus. Here is my budget example with a slightly different take on the mysterious octastyle temple. [ATTACH=full]1073712[/ATTACH][B]Domitian[/B] AR Denarius, 2.73g Rome mint, 95-96 AD Obv: DOMITIANVS AVG GERM; Head of Domitian, bare, bearded, r. Rev: Temple, eight columns, seated figure in centre; IMP CAESAR on architrave RIC 816 (R2). BMC 243. RSC 175. BNC -. Ex Private Collection.[/QUOTE]
