| Beschrijving keerzijde | A nude infant, identified as the deified son of Domitian and Domitia who died in infancy, seated upon a broad globe with arms outstretched. Seven stars surround the child, evoking his divine celestial status and apotheosis. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border, with the surrounding legend DIVVS CAESAR IMP DOMITIANI F identifying the subject as the divine Caesar, son of Imperator Domitian. The reverse type is one of the most poignant and iconographically distinctive of the Flavian period, commemorating the posthumous deification of the imperial couple's only child. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the early 80s AD to commemorate Domitia's son, who died in infancy — the child's deification was politically calculated, elevating Domitian's dynastic ambitions by placing his own offspring among the gods. The infant is styled *Divus Caesar*, son of the emperor, a title that had no precedent for a child who never lived to hold office or command.
Calicó 949 confirms this as one of the rarest aurei of the Flavian dynasty. The circumstances of the child's death remain unrecorded in surviving sources.
