| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate head of Domitian facing left, with short beard and youthful features rendered in a naturalistic style characteristic of early Flavian portraiture. The effigy is depicted with a pronounced neck and squared jaw, the radiate crown distinguishing the dupondius denomination from the as. The circular legend surrounding the portrait reads CAESAR AVG F DOMITIAN COS II, identifying Domitian as son of the Augustus and consul for the second time. The field shows the typical patina of a circulated bronze issue, with the portrait set in moderate relief against a slightly irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This dupondius falls within Domitian's tenure as Caesar under his father Vespasian, struck before he held any real power — a period in which his coinage served partly to legitimize dynastic continuity after the chaos of 69 AD. The FELICITAS PVBLICA reverse was a calculated political message: Vespasian's regime was still consolidating, and public prosperity imagery was deployed deliberately across the Flavian bronze series to contrast with the civil war years.
RIC II.1 659 is attributed to the Rome mint, struck in the third tribunician year of Vespasian's reign.
