| Beschrijving keerzijde | A nude infant figure, identified by the legend as the deified son of Domitian (Divus Caesar), is depicted seated or reclining upon a globe with arms outstretched, reaching toward seven stars arranged in an arc above, symbolizing his divine apotheosis and celestial ascension. The composition evokes the theme of imperial deification, a well-established motif in Flavian dynastic coinage. The exergue bears the letters DIV, and the surrounding circular legend reads DIVVS CAESAR IMP DOMITIANI F, proclaiming the child as the divine Caesar, son of Domitian. The relief is crisp and the artistic treatment reflects the accomplished die-cutting of the Rome Mint workshops during the early reign of Domitian. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitia's coinage from 82–83 AD occupies an awkward place in Domitianic numismatic history. Her son, who died in infancy — the child commemorated in the DIVVS CAESAR IMP DOMITIANI F legend — was deified by Domitian, and the grieving father had himself depicted as Jupiter on related issues. The precise date of the child's death remains debated, but the deification coinage cluster tightly around 83 AD.
Domitia herself was reportedly exiled briefly around 83 AD following rumors of an affair with the actor Paris, making her simultaneous appearance on imperial coinage as a grieving imperial mother a quietly charged political statement from Domitian.
