<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 3796862, member: 82616&quot;]A beautiful coin indeed! Domitian inherited the same mint crew that operated under Vespasian and Titus. The engravers were skilled, competent, and at times artistically talented. Your coin is not struck with Friday afternoon dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>That same mint crew that produced your coin also struck this one for Domitian as Caesar under Titus. It has one of my favourite portraits of the Birthday boy.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1014340[/ATTACH]</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Domitian as Caesar</b></p><p>Æ Sestertius, 24.01g</p><p>Rome mint, 80-81 AD (Titus)</p><p>Obv: CAES DIVI AVG VESP F DOMITIANVS COS VII; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.</p><p>Rev: S C in field; Minerva adv. r., with spear and shield</p><p>RIC 294 (C).
