Hello everyone.

The reverse depicting Domitian with officer and soldiers is one of the rarer among sestertii belonging to the regular series; moreover all sestertii issued in the third, and last, issue of 85 A.D. (obv. legend ending with CENS PER P P) are of the greatest rarity.

So I'm very pleased to share my latest purchase, a true rarity in such a great condition.

I'm confident you will like it as I do.

Kind regards

Alberto

That reverse is like a kodak moment, reminds me of my days as a UN peace keeper, getting our Citation from our officer. Ah well 25 years is a long time ago.  ::)

Lovely coin Alberto!  +++ Cheers Kim
