Domitilla. Sestertius

Domitilla; Rome, 80-81 AD, struck by Titus, Sestertius, 23.32g. Unpublished variant of Paris-235, RIC-264, and C-3 (150 Fr.). Obv: [DOMITILLAE] at top, IMP / CAES VES / AVG in three lines in upper field, SPQR in exergue, Carpentum drawn l. by two mules. Rx: IMP T CAES DIVI VESP F AVG P M TR P P P COS VIII around large S C. Apparently unpublished and unique with Domitilla's carpentum facing left rather than right. This new carpentum left type will have been the earliest of Domitilla's three carpentum sestertii, followed by the same type and legend but with carpentum right, and concluding with her commonest type, also with carpentum right but now with new legend MEMORIAE DOMITILLAE.It is extremely unusual to find an unpublished coin of such a major type. No other examples are recorded. Pleasant surfaces. Bold Fine
