COIN

Unique ID: NLM-721D44

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

A copper alloy as of Domitian (AD 81-96), probably dating to AD 86-87 (Reece Period 4), S C, Mars advancing left, holding Victory and trophy. RIC II.1, pp. 299 and 302, cf. nos. 496 and 549. The original record states COS XIII (AD 87), but the legend is unclear and the aegis does not appear on coins of this year. It could well be a misread COS XII (AD 86)
