I cannot pin down this Domitian:
IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P VII
IMP XIIII COS XIIII CENS P P P
Minerva standing left with thunderbolt and spear, shield to right.

I thought RIC 101 was COS XIII. Does it cover both XIII and XIIII?

isn't that "Minerva advancing right, aiming spear and holding shield"?

Right you are! Sorry, I misread your description.

Your coin is:

New RIC 580 (very common)
Old RIC 109

1 January - 13 September 88 AD
Rome Mint
