Additional information

This issue dates to 76 AD, when Domitian held the consulship for the seventh time under his father Vespasian — a largely ceremonial role that nonetheless marked his gradual accumulation of titles ahead of his own accession in 81 AD. He was not yet emperor, and the coinage of this period reflects his subordinate but carefully managed position within the Flavian dynastic project.

RIC II.1 1487 is among the scarcer Domitianic issues struck before his principate, a consequence of his relatively modest role in actual mint output during Vespasian's reign compared to Titus.
