<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roerbakmix, post: 7768731, member: 100731&quot;]Last week, a seller privately offered me a few middle bronzes, including this one:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1332126[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1332127[/ATTACH] </p><p>(apologies for the mediocre pictures; I will update these later. Also, still need to be measured and weighed).</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER], [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] and [USER=102867]@Parthicus Maximus[/USER] regularly post their Flavian additions, and though Roman coins are not the focus of my collection, I enjoy the opportunity to learn. By doing so, I’ve accustomed myself to look for denari of domitian starting with ‘pont’ or ‘cars’, or left looking busts. This coin combined both ‘caes’ with a left looking bust, so that probably meant it had to be scarce. Yet, I couldn’t really find the right RIC number, so I messaged [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER], who quickly replied that it was, in fact, a unique coin (thus explaining why I wasn’t able to pinpoint it).</p><p><br /></p><p>I then quickly secured the coin, and it arrived this evening. As said, it needs to be properly photographed, measured and weighed, but it feels nice to hold it in hand. I lack the knowledge to really appreciate it, and have a few questions:</p><p>- how often are new Flavian coins found?</p><p>- is there a way to ‘add’ this coin to RIC, or other relevant databases?</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking forward to any replies![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
