RIC 267 Domitian as Caesar [Titus]
AR Denarius, 3.09g
Rome Mint, 80 AD 
Obv: CAESAR DIVI F DOMITIANVS COS VII; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.
Rev: PRINCEPS IVVENTVTIS; Goat standing l., in laurel-wreath.
RIC 267(C). BMC 88. RSC 390. BNC 73.
Acquired from Aegean Numismatics, August 2007.

Struck during Titus's reign for Domitian Caesar, this pleasing reverse depicts Amalthea the Cretan goat which nursed the infant Jupiter - a possible allusion to Domitian being the next in line to the throne. It copies a reverse type coined during the Roman Republic.

A nicely centered coin in decent shape of this unusual reverse type. A welcome addition to my growing Domitian as Caesar denarii.
