Domitian's 85 AD bronze issues fall within his systematic reorganization of the Roman weight standard — he had restored the denarius to Neronian silver purity the previous year, and the accompanying recalibration of the aes coinage reflected the same administrative ambition. The SC notation reflects senatorial authorization, though by Domitian's reign that formality masked an emperor who was consolidating personal control over every arm of Roman government with increasing aggression.
