| Additional information |
Domitian's 84 AD aes coinage falls within his systematic reform of the Roman imperial bronze, part of a broader monetary restructuring that also temporarily raised the silver content of the denarius. The Victory types issued this year were closely tied to his Domitianic campaigns against the Chatti in Germania, for which he claimed a triumph in 83 AD — a triumph his critics, including Tacitus, dismissed as fabricated.
RIC II.1 229 is among the issues that benefited from Carradice and Buttrey's 2007 revision of the early Imperial series, which substantially reorganized and renumbered Domitian's bronze output from the previous RIC II framework.
