Aanvullende informatie

The VIRTVTI AVGVSTI reverse type belongs to a broader Domitianic program of ideological coinage that intensified after 85 AD, when he assumed the permanent title of censor perpetuus and began remodeling his public image with increasing aggression. The personification of virtus — military valor specifically, not virtue in any abstract sense — was a deliberate choice for a emperor whose German campaigns of 83–85 AD remained politically contested, with senatorial opinion divided on whether the Chattan triumph had been genuinely earned.
