Domitian Caesar 'o' Mint Denarius COTD

I was very thrilled to have stumbled across this misattributed eastern 'o' mint denarius recently. Luckily for me it was listed as the common Rome mint variant.

Both the portrait and reverse are amazing.

Thanks for looking!

Magnificent coin David. I especially enjoy the rendition of Spes' drapery and skirt.

What about those Domitian's from Ephesos where he is wearing that magnificent engraved breastplate? The best of all-anyone got one?
