| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Domitia Augusta facing right, depicted with elaborately coiffed hair arranged in tight curls atop the head, consistent with Flavian-era imperial female portraiture. The drapery is rendered with fine detail across the shoulder and chest, presenting a formal imperial image. The encircling Greek legend ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΗ identifies the subject as Domitia Augusta, wife of Domitian. The portrait is competently executed in the local provincial tradition of the Koinon of Thessaly. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Thessalian Koinon — the federal league of Thessalian cities — retained the right to strike provincial bronze under the Flavians, a privilege tied to its administrative cooperation with Roman governance of Achaea. Domitian was notably aggressive in demanding divine honors during his lifetime, styling himself *dominus et deus*, which likely accelerated the willingness of provincial leagues to issue coinage in his name with imperial titulature rendered in Greek.
The reference II#279 places this within a catalogued series, though Thessalian provincial bronzes of this reign remain sparsely documented compared to the larger eastern mints.
