| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Thessalian coinage. A star appears in the field to the right of the portrait. The circular legend enclosing the effigy reads ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝΟΝ ΚΑΙϹΑΡΑ ΘΕϹϹΑΛΟΙ, identifying the subject as Domitian Caesar and acknowledging the issuing authority of the Thessalians. The portrait exhibits the firm, slightly idealised modelling typical of Flavian-era provincial bronzes. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Domitia Augusta facing right, her hair arranged in the elaborate coiffure fashionable during the Flavian period, with tresses drawn up and forward over the crown. She wears a necklace visible at the décolletage. The surrounding legend ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗΝ identifies the figure as Domitia Augusta, wife of Domitian, in the dative case consistent with a honorific dedication. The flan is slightly irregular, as is common for hammered provincial issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Thessalian koinon retained the right to strike bronze coinage under the Flavians as a function of its provincial administrative role, not as a privilege freely granted. Domitian's relationship with the Greek East was characteristically transactional — the leagues issued in his name, he tolerated their continued institutional existence. This piece belongs to a series that uses the accusative form ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗΝ, reflecting the coin's function as an honorific dedication rather than a straightforward imperial portrait issue.
