IMP XXII dates this coin to the final months of Domitian's reign, almost certainly 95–96 AD, just before his assassination in September 96. By this point his relationship with the Senate had collapsed entirely — the so-called "reign of terror" was in full effect, with senators executed on treason charges and Domitian ruling by decree rather than consensus. The Senate's response upon his death was damnatio memoriae: his name was struck from public inscriptions and his coins were sometimes deliberately defaced, making unaltered survivors like this one genuinely useful for die studies.
