<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7809986, member: 118780&quot;]I always enjoy reading these types of posts in order to see and learn about coins I could never dream of owning, or ones that maybe I could own someday but I know little about.</p><p><br /></p><p>The funny thing about this coin, though, is a light bulb went off after seeing your post. &quot;Hey, that looks a bit like <i>my</i> Domitian.&quot; Honestly, until I read your post I didn&#039;t know anything about it. I just knew this was a Domitian that I picked up since it was cheap and I wanted a coin from him.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1341494[/ATTACH] </p><p>Domitian AR Denarius. Rome, AD 90. IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P VIIII, laureate head to right / IMP XXI COS XV CENS P P P, Minerva standing facing, head to right on rostral column, brandishing spear and shield, owl at her feet. RIC II.2 690; BMCRE 166; RSC 262. 3.30g, 18mm, 6h.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ex Vitangelo Collection. Ex Roma.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, acsearch brings up ~300 of them, so mine is nowhere near as rare. I tried looking up what the story of his 21st imperial proclamation was, but didn&#039;t find a great source.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I appreciate posts like these, because in this case I was able to learn something about one of my own coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
