RIC 054 Domitian
AR Denarius, 3.02g
Rome mint, 81 AD
Obv: IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.
Rev: TR P COS VII DES VIII P P; Dolphin coiled round anchor
RIC 54 (C2). BMC 20. RSC 568. BNC 26.
Acquired from Lucernae, eBay, February 2014.

This carry-over pulvinaria type from Titus' reign represents the pulvinar of Neptune. A common coin with an outstanding early style portrait. The portrait is so well executed that I can forgive the minor scrape on the reverse.

Well toned and much nicer in hand.

The portrait is so nice that I don't even notice the flaw on reverse : I must be "flawblind" !
