RIC 439 Domitian
|
AR Denarius, 3.15g
Rome mint, 86 AD
Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P V; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.
Rev: IMP XII COS XII CENS P P P ; Minerva stg. l., with thunderbolt and spear; shield at her side (M3)
RIC 439 (R). BMC p. 319, note. RSC 202. BNC 98.
Acquired from Romae Aeternae, June 2016.
The second denarius issue of 86 records Domitian's 12th imperial acclamation. TR P V indicates it was struck before mid September. A fairly rare issue.
Obverse scratches, but I think the fine portrait redeems the coin.
