| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, rendered in the Alexandrian provincial style, with an aegis at the base of the neck. The imperial effigy is depicted with characteristic Flavian portraiture, showing a fleshy face and prominent features. A Greek legend curves around the bust within the field, identifying the emperor by his titles. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, typical of Alexandrian bronze coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian's 14th regnal year in Egypt (year ΙΔ by Alexandrian reckoning) fell just two years before his assassination in 96 AD, when a palace conspiracy involving his own wife Domitia and members of the Praetorian Guard brought the Flavian dynasty to an abrupt end. The Alexandrian mint operated on a closed currency system — provincial bronzes like this one could not legally circulate outside Egypt, which concentrated wear patterns locally and left many surviving examples in surprisingly decent condition relative to their age.
