The 88AD-89AD As - Domitian Copper As of Emperor Domitian, struck around 88-89AD at the Rome Mint. Diameter 28mm and weighs 9.48mm.
COS XIIII on the Obverse of the coin indicates that Domitian was Consul for the 14th time. He achieved this in 88 AD and then for the 15th time from 1 Jan 90AD, so the coin must have been produced between 88AD and 89AD.
The Obverse shows the laureated head of Emperor Domitian facing right. Legend is "IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XIIII CENS PER P P".
The Reverse shows the Goddess Fortuna, standing and facing left, holding rudder in her right hand and cradling a cornucopia in her left arm. Fortuna is the goddess of fortune and the personification of luck. "S C" across; SC means senatus consultum, or 'by decree of the Senate' so the coin was an official issue. Legend "FORTVNAE AVGVSTI".
