Crawford notes that the moneyer is not clearly either of the two main branches of the Domitii -- "Domitius Ahenobarbus" or "Domitius Calvinus" -- and therefore catalogs this under the abbreviation.
The ragged flan makes this specimen hard to love, but the strike was actually pretty good and the wear is not as severe as first glance appears.
