Domitian struck these aes coins during his brief tenure as Caesar under Titus, before ascending to emperor himself in September 81 AD. The S C formula — Senatus Consulto — nominally placed authority for bronze coinage with the Senate, a constitutional fiction both parties maintained for practical reasons throughout the Principate. Domitian's relationship with the Senate would later collapse spectacularly; these coins predate that rupture entirely.
RIC II.1 #343 reflects the revised Carradice and Buttrey attribution, superseding the older RIC II numbering for Flavian bronzes.
