RIC 655 Domitian
AR Denarius, 3.27g
Rome mint, 88-89 AD
Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P VIII; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.
Rev: IMP XVI COS XIIII CENS P P P ; Minerva stg. l., with spear (M4)
RIC 655 (R2). BMC -. RSC -. BNC -.
Ex Andrew Short Collection, acquired from Chris Rudd 2019.

An extremely rare IMP XVI Domitian denarius struck fleetingly in the autumn of 88, perhaps for just a few days or weeks judging by the rarity. The rapid accumulation of imperial acclamations during this time period hints at accelerated military activity. Missing from the BM and Paris collections. This coin is a detectorist find from Methwold, Norfolk, UK.

Fine portrait, polished surfaces.
