Orfew Posted February 9 · Member Share Posted February 9 Thanks to Marc Breitsprecher for this great coin. I can highly recommend Marc as a seller. He is friendly and very helpful. At first glance this may appear to be a common coin for Domitian as Caesar. However, it is defintely not the mint of Rome. The 'O' mint denarii are still mysterious. No one is sure where they were struck. On theory is that they were struck at Ephesus. Whereever they were minted, these are interesting coins with great looking portraits.

It’s to the left of the truncation at the bottom of the flan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
