| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Domitian facing right, depicted as Caesar with a prominent laurel wreath rendered in high relief. The bust is bare or lightly draped at the truncation, with the portrait exhibiting the characteristic Flavian facial features. The surrounding Latin legend reads CAESAR AVG F DOMITIANVS COS V, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The die work, though worn, reflects the provincial engraving style typical of Macedonian civic bronzes of the Flavian period. |

Stobi, a Macedonian city at the confluence of the Axios and Erigon rivers, held municipal status under the Flavians and exercised the rare provincial right to strike its own bronze coinage — a privilege tightly controlled by Rome and granted selectively to cities demonstrating administrative reliability. This piece dates to the final years of Vespasian's reign, a period when the emperor was aggressively consolidating Flavian authority across the eastern provinces following the chaos of 69 AD.
The city would later become a significant early Christian bishopric, but in 77–78 it remained a thoroughly Hellenized municipium navigating Roman administrative expectations while maintaining local civic identity through exactly this kind of locally issued bronze.
