<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3796990, member: 19463"]The call to show Domitian comes up here more often than I have been buying new coins of his so I tend to post the same old ones (my best). This time I'll post one I do not recall whether I have posted or not. Perhaps I should start keeping a list of what I hae shown here to avoid always using the same coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian dupondius / Minerva - this coin was my first with a DES legend showing that the emperor was scheduled to assume another (here 9th) consulship on January first. It also was my first really extremely unevenly struck coin. It has rather little wear but loses a lot of detail and legend to the terrible strike. I am no expert on these but see this one as likely barbarous or branch mint (by style). I would appreciate comments on this matter from Domitian experts. I bought it from the estate of a friend over 30 years ago for $14. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1014351[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
