Domitian struck this issue in 81 AD, the year of his accession following the death of Titus. The COS VII DES VIII titulature precisely brackets the emission to a window of only a few months — after his seventh consulship had begun but before he formally entered his eighth. That specificity makes the legend one of the more useful dating tools in the early Domitianic series, and RIC II.1 treats it accordingly as a tightly defined type rather than a broad reign issue.
