An Early Domitian COTD

Denarii from Domitian's RIC group 2 are extremely hard to come by. I am very glad this one came my way!    https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-147855

Great coin David.  These are the subtleties that I previously didn't appreciate about Domitians coinage.   Over the past few years I've really taken to him and how meticulous he was about his titles.

Hi David ... hey, congrats on adding another winner to your collection

Curious though? ... aren't there 5 crescents on the back of that sweet draped chair?

Thanks again everyone for the kind comments.

And Steve, RIC just counts the three upper crescents, but I think you are correct to count the two lower ones as well, making a total of five.
