Titus Flavius Domitianus, Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus

Denarius of the Roman Imperial Period 82 AD; Material: Silver; Diameter: 19mm; Weight: 3.18g; Mint: Rome; Reference: RIC II Part 1 (second edition) Domitian 96; Provenance: Leu Numismatics Winterthur, Switzerland; Obverse: Laureate head of Domitian to right. The Inscription reads: IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M for Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Pontifex Maximus (Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus, High priest); Reverse: Dolphin coiled around anchor. The Inscription reads: TR POT COS VIII P P for Tribunicia Potestate Consul VIII Pater Patriae (Tribunician power, Consul for the eighth time, Father of the Country).

 

@David Atherton writes: "A fairly common early pulvinar of Neptune reverse of Domitian which is a carry over from an issue of Titus' before his death the previous year. Most likely the reverse is part of a religious series commemorating the opening of the Colosseum. This reverse and the series it comes from would be discontinued later the same year when Domitian radically changed the coinage by introducing new types and increasing the fineness of the denarius."

Thank you. Richard Schaefer added them to the RRDP and was unaware of any other examples. I have been luck enough to find a couple of previously unknown symbol pairs but this is by far my favourite amongst them.
