Reclining Rhenus COTD
« on: February 20, 2020, 01:44:24 am »
I was very excited to have recently acquired this iconic Domitian sestertius. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-160151

The inherent symbolism of the reverse is quite fascinating. Plus, the fine style is an added bonus.

Lovely style indeed, and a coin that really highlights the propagandist character of Roman coinage
