What I can identify at the obverse is "IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM [...]". So it must be Domitian. Reverse: GERMANIA CAPTA ?

I am pretty sure tha I am able to read MONETA on the reverse  and the deity seems to have a cornucopia so something like

Domitian AE As.
Obv:- IMP CAES DOMITIAN AVG GERM COS XI, laureate head right, wearing aegis
Rev:- MONETA AVGVST S-C, Moneta standing left, holding scales & cornucopiae.
RIC 303
A.D. 85

would be a possibility.
Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

I am in agreement with you regarding the reverse legend MONETA [...], but the obverse legend in my opinion might be merely "DOMIT AVG GERM" (take a look at the illustration) and not "DOMITIANVS".
