DOMITIAN drachme Caeserae
« on: June 06, 2008, 11:42:55 am »
Hi, all
I've got a Domitian drachme on reverse Domitia. I think this was struck in Caeserae, Cappadocia. Could anyone help me, what kind of catalogue can I find about this coin, or what is the right reference?
obv: AVT ΔOMITIANOC KAI CEB ΓERM (laureate head right)
rev: ΔOMITIA CEB AΔO (draped bust right)
ref: ? (unpublished?)
4.08gms, 19mm,

Regards
Mike from Hungary
