| Note | Type dating probably from Domitian's own reign, since it does not mention Italicus and has different letter forms (see RPC II, 1412–13). Rev. is described by vA as 'stehender Zeus mit Sceptre und Schale'; however, object held by figure on the P coin does not look particularly like a patera and top of 'sceptre' cannot be seen. On the new coin 2, trident seems clear, as does probably dolphin, suggesting identification as Poseidon. |
