Æ20 - Domitian L ΙΔ (in exergue)

Domitian's fourteenth regnal year, which this coin marks in its exergue, fell just before his assassination in September 96 AD — a murder organized within his own household, involving his wife Domitia. The Alexandrian mint continued striking his types through the full year with no apparent disruption, making coins of L ΙΔ relatively common by late Domitianic standards. The Senate's subsequent damnatio memoriae had no practical effect on Egyptian provincial issues already in circulation.
