<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3588927, member: 74968&quot;]I have actively looking for Domitian denarii with the CENS POT reverse legend. They are all rare coins and do not show up very often. I absolutely love the portraits on these issues. Imho they are of fine style. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other type I have been looking for features the CENS POT reverse legend and Aegis on the obverse portrait. The use of Aegis on denarii of Domitian is also rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>This first coin is the portrait without Aegis and is RIC 333. The second coin is my win from yesterday. It is RIC 336. Both coins are R2.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am thrilled that I was able to find one of these. Please post your favourite coins of Domitian.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]958762[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian AR Denarius</p><p>(20.5 mm 3.22 g)</p><p>Obv: Laureate head r, IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM PM TR P IIII</p><p>Rev: Minerva stg r on capital of rostral column, with spear and shield; to r owl</p><p>IMP VIIII COS XI CENS POT P P</p><p>RIC 333; BMC 78(cross symbol), Cohen 180 RSC 180 </p><p>Purchased from Phillipe Saive Numimatique March 15, 2019</p><p>Coin depicted on the Wildwinds database</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]958764[/ATTACH] </p><p>Domitian, 81-96.
