Æ21 - Domitian Ο-ΔΗ/Σ-ΙΤ

Odessos, the Black Sea Greek colony on the Moesian coast, struck autonomous bronze issues under the Flavians with a degree of civic independence that imperial mints did not share. The split ethnic legend — a local idiosyncrasy in die arrangement — appears inconsistently across the Domitianic series, suggesting small-batch production from a civic workshop rather than a coordinated imperial program.
