| Additional information |
Domitian's 84 AD bronze coinage was produced during his aggressive reassertion of imperial monetary policy, including a controversial restoration of the silver denarius to Neronian fineness — a reform he ultimately could not sustain and reversed within two years under fiscal pressure from military expenditure on the Rhine and Danube frontiers. The MONETA AVGVST reverse type was a deliberate ideological statement, linking the emperor directly to the mint's divine authority at a moment when Domitian was tightening personal control over every instrument of state.
RIC II.1 #207 places this issue firmly within the reorganized Flavian mint sequence established by the revised Carradice-Buttrey corpus published in 2007, which substantially renumbered earlier RIC II attributions.
