[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7322270, member: 75937"]It's always a fun experience to pick up an unappreciated rarity at auction. Well done, [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER]! I picked up one coin from the auction too -- a sestertius of Faustina II with a stephaned bust -- but that's the subject of a Faustina Friday and not this Flavian thread. This one is my favorite coin of Domitian because it has perhaps the nicest portraits of any provincial coins in my collection. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/domitian-and-domitia-anazarbus-jpg.1204967/[/IMG] Domitian, AD 81-96, and Domitia, AD 82-96. Roman provincial Æ 24 mm, 9.45 g. Cilicia, Anazarbus, city year 112 = AD 93/4. Obv: ΑΥΤΟ ΚΑΙ ΘΕ ΥΙ ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝΟΣ ΣΕ ΓΕΡ, laureate head of Domitian, right; behind, star. Rev: ΚΑΙΣΑΡΕΩΝ ΔΟΜΕΤΙΑ ⳞΕΒΑⳞΤΗ, ΙΒ-Ρ (in field), draped bust of Domitia, left. Refs: RPC II 1749; SNG France 2019-20; BMC 9; Ziegler 76 (obv 1/rev 3); SNG Levante 1374. Notes: Double die match to [URL='https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/2/1749']RPC specimen[/URL] (Roma Numismatics XVIII, 29 Sept. 2019, [URL='https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6334018']lot 758[/URL] (ex Künker 236, 7 Oct. 2013, lot 1025)) and the SNG Levante plate coin.[/QUOTE]
