THESSALY, Thessalian League. Domitian, 81-96. Assarion (Bronze, 18 mm, 5.66 g, 8 h). ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝΟΝ ΚΑΙΣΑΡΑ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΙ Laureate head of Domitian to right. Rev. ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝ ΣΕΒΑΣΣΤΗΝ Draped bust of Domitia to right, her hair in a long queue tied up at the back. BCD I 1407 (this coin). Burrer 21. RPC II 277. A splendid piece with a glossy, dark patina. Centering mark on the reverse, otherwise, about extremely fine.

From the Brett Telford Collection, USA, and from the BCD Collection, Nomos 4, 10 May 2011, 1407.

The League coinage for Domitian must have been quite abundantly struck. It circulated over a wide area, and for a very long time, almost certainly until the reign of Gallienus. Thus, they are often found in poor condition, with nice examples being difficult to find.
