Summary
Silver denarius struck during the reign of the Emperor Domitian, Ancient Roman Empire, in 92 AD. Minted by Rome. Domitian was Consul for the 16th time (COS XVI on this coin) in 92 AD and had held the tribunician power eleven times (TR P XI on this coin) during the period 91-92 AD. The production of the coin therefore belongs in 92 AD before the 12th renewal of his tribunician power.
