Coin (obverse), Denarius, of DomitianThis silver coin was minted in Rome by the emperor Domitian in 88 AD. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the obverse of the coin. The obverse has the head of the emperor wearing a laurel wreath. Around him is the inscription 'IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P VII' which identifies the emperor and abbreviates many of his titles. There was no single title 'Emperor' in imperial Rome. Instead, emperors assumed or were given a number of titles. Domitian recorded a large number on his coins. On this side, the following appear: Imperator, Caesar, Augustus, Germanicus, Pontifex Maximus, and Tribunician potestatis. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
