Domitian as Caesar Portrait COTD
« on: June 23, 2019, 07:54:14 am »
I recently purchased this exquisite sesteritus primarily because of the portrait. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-156227

Formerly from the collection of the German portrait painter Fritz Reusing, I would like to think he appreciated this coin's beauty and received some inspiration from it.
