| Additional information |
Domitianus II ruled for perhaps two weeks. His existence was doubted entirely by modern scholars until 1900, when a single antoninianus surfaced at Nîmes, and again dramatically confirmed in 2003 when a hoard from Chalgrove, Oxfordshire yielded a second specimen. Before that hoard, fewer than a handful of coins attributed to him were considered authentic. The Chalgrove find, now in the Ashmolean, remains the primary physical evidence that this emperor existed at all.
