<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PeteB, post: 7562074, member: 99412&quot;][ATTACH=full]1303859[/ATTACH]</p><p>Domitian. 81-96 AD. AR Denarius (19mm; 3.16 gm; 6h). Struck 92 AD. Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P XI, laureate head right. Rev: IMP XXI COS XVI CENS P P P, Minerva advancing right on prow of galley (described by some as the capital of a column), holding spear and shield; owl at feet. RIC II 157; RSC 270. The two enigmatic figures on the side of the prow have not been explained to date. From Dressel, Berlin Medallions (published 1973), p. 14, note 1: Cohen 237 note says, &quot;a standing figure and a seated figure&quot;. Gnecchi, Medaglioni I, p. 43, 4 says &quot;two small figures, the one on the left seated and the second one kneeling before the seated figure&quot;. As can be seen on many of the more carefully engraved specimens [Dressel continues], the first figure is shown seated right, while the second figure kneels before the first figure, with arms raised in entreaty.&quot; Flan crack.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
