    Many Domitian coins have wonderful portraits and this is no exception. I like the reverse as well. Very nice coin overall.

    Nice bronze, I have none of him. Just his denarius.

    Nice coin overall, but I like the obverse more : the engraving and facial expression are wonderful, even though the lad wasn't as good as he looks here (kind of "Titusish" portrait)

    RO, It's one I would love to have---so many choices, too little time and never enough of a budget for all I crave LOL.

    Presently, my only Domitian is a denarius, apparently minted about 90-91 AD, with a Diety standing left holding a thunderbolt and spear with shield at feet (Minerva?):

    Wow, ro1974 => that coin has great eye-appeal (tough lookin' coin, my friend) ...

    Yah, I absolutely adore coins that look like they've been around the block, but have managed to make it back home successfully!!

    ;)

    great addition
