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.
