Domitian revisited

[Mackaydon]

Mining the TNet Coin Archives.​

Many years ago, 2006 to be exact, this coin was posted and correctly attributed to Domitian--without further identification. In one respect this coin is unusual in that the obverse legend is upside down and backwards. Note the spelling of Domitian. The legend will read (counter-clockwise): IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M.
The reverse side, as presented, is upside down.
The proper alignment would help in ID-in the image in the middle; a dolphin coiled around an anchor.
