Il naiskos (in greco antico: ναΐσκος?, naiskos; dall'etimologia greca: ναός, italiano: "tempio") è un piccolo tempio in ordine architettonico con colonne o pilastri e timpano. Spesso utilizzato come motivo artificiale, non è raro nell'arte antica. Si trova anche nell'architettura greca, soprattutto nelle necropoli dell'Attica come rilievo funerario o reliquario con statua, come nel caso di Ceramico ad Atene e nella ceramica a figure nere e a figure rosse del loutrophoros e del lekythos. Esistono anche figurine simili ai naiskoi o ad altri templi realizzati in terracotta; alcuni sono esposti al Museo del Louvre di Parigi. Il naiskos è sempre prodotto in ambito religioso, facendo riferimento in particolare al culto funerario greco. Un tipo simile, chiamato edicola, è comune nell'arte romana.

Lotto 498. EGYPT, Alexandria. Domitian. AD 81-96. Æ Drachm (33mm, 22.50 g, 11h). Dated RY 15 (AD 95/6). Laureate head right / Triumphal arch with three bays between columns, two windows above; roof surmounted by statuary group of Domitian driving horses between trophies; L IE (date) across field.

Purchased from Malter Galleries.

While often assumed to depict a local Egyptian monument, Fred Kleiner (“An arch of Domitian in Rome on coins of Alexandria,” NC 1989, pp. 69-81) has convincingly argued that the arch was erected elsewhere, almost certainly in the capital, to commemorate Domitian’s victories in Germany. Indeed, Suetonius (Dom. 13.2) records that the emperor erected so many arci – Latin for arches – in Rome that a Greek punster wrote on one of them ἀρκεῖ (enough).

It is also interesting to note that the production of Aes denominations finally started to increase at the Alexandrian mint during the reign of Domitian, and at the expense of the billon production. .
