Summary
Silver denarius struck during the reign of the Emperor Domitian, Ancient Roman Empire, in 90 AD. Minted by Rome. Domitian was Consul for the 15th time (COS XV on this coin) in 90 AD and had held the tribunitian power nine times (TR P VIIII on this coin) during the period 89-90 AD. The production of the coin therefore belongs in 90 AD before the tenth renewal of his tribunician power.
