Additional information

Struck in 79 AD, this as falls within Domitian's tenure as Caesar under his father Vespasian — not yet emperor, but already receiving coinage in his name as part of the Flavian dynastic program. Vespasian died in June of that year, and the sequence of minting for these transitional issues remains genuinely difficult to pin down: some attributions to Titus's reign versus the tail of Vespasian's are still contested between RIC and independent scholarship. The VICTORIA reference here almost certainly alludes to ongoing Flavian military messaging rather than any specific campaign concluded by Domitian himself.
