Neapolis (modern day Naples) was an early Rhodian colony, originally named Parthenope. Its name was changed to Neapolis in ca. 450 BC. The obverse of this issue represents the Siren Parthenope who was the local goddess of Neapolis. The man-headed bull reverse was a type shared by a number of Campanian cities and may have generally been understood as representing Acheloƶs, the father of Sirens. The name of Acheloƶs appears in cults throughout the Greek world and in mythology as the archetypal river-god and may have been used in this context in Campania.

IMP CAES DIVI VESP F DOMIT AVG PONT, laureate head right
P P COS VII DES VIII, Wreath set on curule chair.
This is just the third known specimen with the interesting obverse legend which combines the "DIVI VESP F" variant and the "PONT" variant. The "DIVI VESP F" coins are rather easy to obtain from the bulk of the 81 AD coinage while the "PONT" coins are rare. A combination of the two only seem to occur on just two obverse dies used to strike very few curule chairs coins and the second for altar coins. Also the reverse legend is a scarce one, lacking the "TR P" mention. The other two surviving coins from these dies are: one in the Institut fur Antike Numismatik in Vienna and one from the Leo Benz collection, sold in 1999 as Lanz 94 lot 377.

IMP CAES DOMITIAN AVG PONT, laureate head right
P P COS VII DES VIII, Wreath set on curule chair.
Very rare with only a few surviving specimens, of which I can only confirm one in the Curtis Clay coll., struck from the same dies. Also this reverse die was used for the coin above (no. 160) and for the normal variant of this type struck with a different obverse die with DOMITIANVS. Another interesting feature is the oddly shaped V in AVG, which appears on other dies too and it is the "signature" of perhaps a Greek letter cutter. Read the full article by Christopher Lezak here. One of the pictured coins is the same mentioned above; it belonged to Mr. Lezak as well.

IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M, laur. head r.
IVPPITER CONSERVATOR, eagle standing right, head left, on thunderbolt.
This reverse type commemorates the events during the civil war of 69 A.D. Upon the arrival of the flavian troops in Italy, Sabinus (the elder brother of Vespasian) was forced to seek refuge in the Capitoline fortress (the sanctuary of Jupiter). He also brought in Domitian, his nephew. Eventually the fortress was set on fire and Sabinus captured and executed. Domitian managed to escape and found shelter at one of his father's clients. Later in that place he built a temple for Jupiter Conservator (= the Protector). Source: Tacitus, Histories, the 3rd book, section LXXIV : "Domitianus.....ac potiente rerum patre, disiecto aeditui contubernio, modicum sacellum Iovi Conservatori aramque posuit casus suos in marmore expressam).

IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M, laur. head r.
SALVS AVGVST, Salus seated left, feet on small pedestal, holding corn-ears.
This is the third reverse type of the reform, and was probably issued along IVVPITER in the first part of 83 A.D. Salus is represented here not in the common way as goddess of health, but as goddess of prosperity. This might be related to Domitianās reformatory ideas, one of which actually took form in an edict enforcing grain growth against vine production. Obviously this measure encountered such strong opposition that it was impossible to apply; later Domitian had to revoke the edict.
