                                Description

     This piece was minted in 80 AD, in the name of Domitian, who
     served as Caesar under Vespasian from 69-79 AD, and under Titus
     from 79-81. He would rule as Augustus from 81-96 AD. Domitian
     initially showed great promise, but was unpopular with the
     Senatorial nobility, and this resulted in numerous plots and
     conspiracies. These only served to inflame Domitian's already
     suspicious nature, and his last years were a time of terror and
     oppression. He was murdered in 96 AD, in a plot in which his own
     wife is said to have taken part. The obverse of this type depicts
     the laureate head of Domitian facing right, with legends
     CAESAR.DIVI.F.DOMITIANVS.COS.VII. The reverse features a helmet
     on throne, with legends PRINCEPS.IVVENTVTIS. Coin is slightly off
     center on the reverse, but otherwise grades a nice F+, with clear
     devices and legends all around. A very nice example of the type,
     catalouged as RSC-399a. All coins guaranteed genuine without
     limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped on
     clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales
     tax. Visa/MC now accepted for purchases over $20. Member ANA,
     PAN. For more ancients, please visit our WWW site at
