<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Edessa, post: 8223512, member: 84065&quot;][USER=84065]@Edessa[/USER], I&#039;m far from certain, could your coin be <a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2_1(2).tit.288" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2_1(2).tit.288" rel="nofollow">Titus RIC 288</a> (Rome mint?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Sulla, a very astute observation. Both Titus (Domitian) RIC² 288 and RIC² 507 have identical descriptions, as does RPC II 504. In fact, both are plated in RIC² and they look (more or less) identical. RIC² page 193 discusses the Thracian (?) mint and in the first sentence calls this &quot;One of the most intractable problems of the Flavian coinage...&quot; Apparently the flat fabric of the flan is the most identifiable characteristic of these Thracian (?) issues. Not apparent in the picture, my coin definitely has a flatter fabric than you would expect from sestertii of Rome during this period. The attribution came from the original seller many moons ago, so kudos to that individual who correctly identified this coin long before RIC² was published.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
