Got this Domitian As/Dupondius today, the obv legend reads IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XI CENS POT P P, so no PER, rev legend is VIRTVTI AVGVST. 11.16gr - 27mm. I have been searching all afternoon for a correct RIC for this legend type.

Having the relevant RIC volume on my shelf, I feel no need to search for the coin on the web!
