| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Domitian facing left, depicted with characteristic strong features and short hair beneath the laurel wreath. The bust is bare or lightly draped at the shoulder truncation. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, naming Domitian as Caesar, son of the deified Vespasian, and recording his seventh consulship. The portrait is rendered in the vigorous, somewhat idealized style typical of Flavian imperial coinage struck at the Rome Mint. The flan is irregularly shaped, a common characteristic of hammered bronze issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian struck heavily in the name of Minerva throughout his reign, but this issue dates to his time as Caesar under Titus — before his accession in September 81. The relationship between the two brothers was famously strained, and ancient sources, particularly Suetonius, accused Domitian of plotting against Titus even before his death. Whether that colors how one reads the religious iconography is a matter for historians, not the coin itself.
RIC II.1 #346 reflects the revised Carradice and Buttrey attribution system, superseding the older RIC II numbering that dominated dealer catalogs for decades.
