Draped Domitian?
« on: June 14, 2020, 05:31:43 pm »
My latest acquisition has me puzzled. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-163508

Flavian S C Antiochene issues do not sport a draped bust, period. Yet, this coin has hints that it may be indeed draped. If not, I'm at a loss to explain the business below the wreath ties. Opinions?

Dear David, Jay, and Board,

Could the "draped bust" be better explained with the following (or similar) markings to your image?

Hope this helps and doesn't disappoint too much.


Best regards,
