Beschrijving keerzijde Standing figure of Victoria, the goddess of Victory, depicted in full-length facing left in a long flowing garment. She holds a wreath in her extended right hand and a palm branch in her left, symbolising military triumph. Between her and a tall military trophy or standard to her left, the large senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently displayed in the central field. The composition is set on a ground line, with the legend VICTORIAE AVGVSTI distributed around the periphery within a beaded border. The rendering of the figure reflects the classicising style favoured on Flavian bronze coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Domitian's VICTORIAE AVGVSTI coinage of 85 AD commemorated his campaigns against the Chatti in Germania, for which he claimed a triumph in 83 AD — a triumph widely mocked by contemporaries, including Tacitus, who noted that the victory was largely staged and the Germanic prisoners paraded through Rome were purchased or enslaved civilians rather than battlefield captives. The Senate was compelled to ratify the honors regardless.

RIC II.1 #389 falls within the reorganized Domitianic aes coinage following the weight reform of 82–84 AD, which standardized the as at a reduced theoretical weight after decades of Flavian debasement.
