<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 3351250, member: 82616&quot;]When I first started researching this coin I wanted to know what temple it is too. After seeing so many variants of the type with different renditions of the mysterious temple, I came to realise I was missing the point of the reverse&#039;s message. The generic temple just served as a backdrop to the foreground action of Domitian sacrificing - the engraver&#039;s weren&#039;t preserving history, they were spreading propaganda. The actual sacrifice likely took place in front of a temple on the Palatine, unfortunately the coins do not point the way to which one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
