Domitian Denarius

Domitian, 90-91 (reigned 81-96), AR Denarius (17x18mm), aVF/F+. RSC 264.

Minerva standing left, holding thunderbolt and spear, shield at her feet.
The coin is of bright metal, with full legends, although a few letters are
crowded by the flan. The portrait and reverse image show fairly good
detail. Domitian was the last of the Flavian dynasty. He was never popular
with the Senate, and he was assassinated after a reign of terror involving
the suppression of real and imagined plots against him.
