RIC 824 Divus Augustus, Restored by Domitian
Æ As, 10.01g
Rome or Thrace?, 80-81 AD
Obv: DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER; Head of Augustus, radiate, l., star above
Rev: IMP D CAES AVG RESTITVIT; S C in field; Eagle stg. front on globe, wings spread, head r.
RIC 824 (C2). BMC 506. BNC 555.
Ex Papillon Auction 5, 6 March 2021, lot 540.

Titus and Domitian struck an extensive restoration series of bronze coins of Flavian approved past emperors and imperial family members which reproduced the original coins in their entirety. The restoration coinage was very briefly continued into the reign of Domitian after Titus's death in September 81. It is highly likely the only mint still producing the series under Domitian was an unidentified Thracian mint, although there is some stylistic ambiguity to be certain. This common As struck for Divus Augustus restores a well known posthumous type originally coined by Tiberius. Oddly, on this one die the eagle is having trouble staying on the globe!
