As - Domitian S C, Victory

Domitian's 84 AD bronzes were struck during a period of aggressive Domitianic self-promotion following his German campaigns of 83, in which he claimed a triumph over the Chatti — a victory his contemporaries, including Tacitus, dismissed as largely fabricated. The Senate was compelled to ratify the triumph regardless, and the mint responded with a sustained run of issues referencing Victory.

RIC II.1 230 belongs to the revised Carradice-Buttrey corpus, which substantially renumbered and reattributed Domitianic bronzes from the original RIC II, correcting decades of misattribution in earlier catalogs.
