Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, rendered with strong portraiture typical of Flavian imperial coinage, the emperor's features clearly individualized with a wreath of laurel leaves tied at the nape. The draped shoulder is visible at the bust truncation. The circular legend runs clockwise around the periphery within a beaded border, framing the effigy in the standard manner of Roman aurei of this period.

Aanvullende informatie

Domitian's censorial title — CENS P P P, Censor Perpetuus — appears on this issue as part of his aggressive campaign to institutionalize permanent censorial power, something no emperor before him had claimed outright. He assumed the role in 85 AD and held it until his assassination in 96, using it to regulate public morals, purge the Senate, and tighten control over Roman social order. The Senate's damnatio memoriae after his death erased his name from public inscriptions across the empire, making surviving aureii from his reign that retain sharp legend detail particularly significant to the documentary record.
