Extremely Rare Domitian Caesar Quinarius
« on: August 02, 2016, 01:50:52 am »
I was quite thrilled to receive this extremely rare quinarius struck for Domitian Caesar. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-130506

RIC cites only one unique specimen in Paris. Surprisingly, it is from a different die pair than mine.

Superb addition, congratulations !


If Domitian happened to know that centuries after , someone would love his coins like you do , David.
He would have struck a coin in your honor , with your name on it :) .

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments. They are truly appreciated.

And Sam, I would settle for a small villa in the Alban hills.  ;D
