Take a look at the blog One coin at a time. Brett Telford is the owner of a fine collection of coins with The Twelve Caesars.
The entry “DOMITIAN!!!!!” displays two very fine photographs of a coin with Domitian.
Ethelbert Stauffer was a German Protestant theologian who held that gematria, the numerology of the Hebrew language and alphabet, could be used to explain the Biblical number 666. Stauffer computed this “Number of the Beast” using the short form of Domitian’s names and titles: Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus…
How? Don’t hesitate to visit this entry and Mr. Telford’s collection.

Kim Riddlebarger is the author of A Case for Amillennialism and The Man of Sin. Apart from descriptions of his books, Riddlebarger’s website features numerous resources. You can read about Riddlebarger (here), read some of his articles, for example “Princeton and the Millennium.” He also provides Links to Helpful Books, Essays, and Charts. And more.
If you want information about a Reformed, amillennial view from the horse’s mouth - or about the author of the books mentioned above - then go to RiddleBlog.
Oh, you should also take a look on his “Finally, the Beast Revealed!” Now, we can proceed to something else, can’t we!?

Dr. Loren L. Johns’s The Apocalypse of John lists many resources, including a number of articles written by Johns himself.
See also his Apocalypticism and Millennialism: A Select Bibliography for Research.
He also includes a section on Revelation in art, and a page with resources about Patmos (currently with some obsolete links).
Dr. Johns’s Curriculum Vitae is here and includes a list of publications.

This quite extensive resource collection is compiled by Dr. Hubbes Laszlo.
Although it is in the Hungarian language, some headlines are translated, and it is certainly possible to find quite a number of useful resources, even if you do not know Hungarian. As the sample shows. As Dr. Laszlo informed me, “the majority of the collection points to English sites.”
Especially relevant is the following:
Apocalypse Commentaries
Apocalypse Definitions
Apocalyptic Bibliographies
Apocalyptic in Arts
Apocalyptic in Music
Apocalyptic Resources Online
Apocalyptic Studies
Apocalyptic Symbology and Iconography
