Domitian with Domitia Didrachm, nice and rare
« on: November 19, 2018, 01:00:13 pm »
Hello everyone.

It's been many years since I started collecting these Domitian silver didrachms. I love their style and their size, close to an aureus.

The ones with Domitia are quite rare, no example was found by Metcalf in the large hoards he examined.

Then this is a special acquisition for me and I'm glad to share it.

Kind regards

Alberto

As a total beginner, I'm quite drawn by the double portrait and concordia type coins stressing human links.  The portraits on this one are very striking.

Thanks Stuart!

Indeed both Domitian and Domitia are very handsome on this coin.

Kind regards

I am also pretty new to numismatics and agree with Stuart. I love double portrait coins. Congratz!
