    My new Domitian question, is this an AS or could it be a Dupondius, or just a large bronze. ? For my 12 Caesar group. Better than the one I have. Thanks. Should be Moneta. Dam ipad."

    Would it not be a sestertius? Looks sort of brassy color

    I think an As, as a Dupondius would have a radiate bust.

    I’ve always loved this history behind ancient coins… but I remember when I first started collecting that I was a bit disappointed that many affordable coins featured personifications of X or Y, and the imagery of “someone standing there, doing something.” So… a reverse with a monster holding scales… would be a nice change of pace and probably command a premium that I could not afford. Haha.

    It's an As. Dupondii were radiate at this point for Domitian.
