I've been a member on Forvm 20 years now, I guess it's time to start my own gallery updates thread.

Fantastic coins David. I'm right behind you at 17 years on Forum. Time flies!

Thanks Jay! Yes, it seems like it was only yesterday that I joined Forvm ... nice to see many of the same members are still around.

My latest coin ticks two boxes for me: it's an architectural type and it's a Domitianic Alexandrian. Both are big faves with me!

I really like the Eastern portraits, they have a certain realism compared to the worked over Rome portraits.

And it helps that it possibly is a third known specimen!

Seems like I'm the only Flavian fan left

Great coin David, and even more special to share it with Hershey.

Your gallery is basically an illustrated RIC at this point.

Alberto lurks around but is no longer active. Ditto with Andrew. So yea, it's just me and you!

Thanks for keeping Hershey in your thoughts.

Hi David,

Many interesting coins have arrived in your gallery lately...
Unfortunately, I've been there a long time ago...

Thanks Joe. Any comments are greatly appreciated!

BTW, I like how you have your gallery arranged - very clear and precise!

Looking forward to it Joe!

In the meantime, I can post this stylish Domitian as from 85.

This specimen, and its shared obverse die counterparts, has routinely been misattributed as 'COS II' or sometimes 'COS III' by various prestigious auction houses and dealers over the years. Instead, what we have here is a rare 'COS IV' variety.
