| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, draped on the left shoulder, rendered in high relief with characteristic Flavian portraiture. The emperor's effigy displays a laurel wreath and aegis-draped shoulder, conveying imperial authority. The circumferential legend in Latin capitals runs clockwise around the portrait, bordered by a beaded inner circle. The portrait is competently engraved in the naturalistic late first-century Roman style, with strong facial features typical of Domitianic coinage from the Rome mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This issue falls within Domitian's systematic renewal of imperial titulature, with the IMP XI and COS XI dating it precisely to 85 AD — a year in which Domitian also assumed the censorship for life, the CENS P P P that appears in the legend. That office, revived after centuries of disuse, was a deliberate political maneuver: by monopolizing censorial power permanently, Domitian controlled senatorial membership rolls directly, removing rivals from public life without the inconvenience of trial. The Senate would not forget it.
RIC II.1 #391 is one of several closely related types from this consular year, distinguished by reverse type within a larger sequential die program.
