| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian's censorial title CENS P P P — Censor Perpetuus — was assumed in 85 AD and represented an unprecedented grab at permanent moral authority over Roman public and private life. No emperor before him had claimed the censorship as a perpetual office; Augustus had held it twice, briefly. The addition to the coin legend marks this as a relatively late issue within Domitian's reign, after he had consolidated the autocratic trappings that would make his memory so toxic to the Senate following his assassination in 96 AD.
IMP XVII narrows the striking window with reasonable precision.
