Thanks Ron. I have no idea how many types there are. As I hope the photos demonstrate there is more to Domitian than Minerva reverses.

A quick inspection of my R.I.C. Volume 2 indicates that
there about 50 types of denarii ascribed to Domitian.
(all Rome mint)

That is a really nice group of denarii. And with 15 of 50 types represented, you are about a third done. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Hi Paul, thanks for the comments. Yes I will be adding coins when I can. At the moment I have 16 for Domitian, 14 for Vespasian , 7 for Galba, 4 for Titus, and at least 3 each for the rest of the 12.

Orfew, sorry for the late response. This is a very impressive group and some very unusual types as well. Thanks for posting.

Hi Paul, the pegasus is one of my favourites as well. This one is really quite rare. The normal pegasus for Domitian is very common. This one has "Caes" instead of "Caesar" in the obverse legend. This legend variation makes my coin quite unusual.
@Travelcoin
No need to apologize. I appreciate the time you have taken to view and respond to my post. Thanks for the kind words.

Hi @antwerpen2306, the coin is marked C2 (very common) in the new RIC Voulme II part 1.
