Domitian Denarius
« on: March 15, 2007, 07:02:46 am »
Here comes the latest addition to my denarii collection. I like the beautiful portrait of Domitian with no less elegant horse on reverse. The flan is large and the relief high - more than enough for me to jump on it  ;)

Wow, very impressive!

The details on both the obverse and reverse are quite stunning. You can even see Domitian's beard very clearly...which on most coins it is worn off.

Thanks for sharing it!
