Beschrijving voorzijde Radiate bust of Domitian facing right, depicted with a short beard and wearing the characteristic radiate crown of the dupondius denomination, the rays clearly visible above the head. The emperor's neck and shoulders are rendered with fine drapery detail, the portrait displaying the characteristic Flavian physiognomy. The encircling legend reads IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XIIII CENS PER P P, distributed around the full circumference of the flan in crisp, well-spaced Latin capitals. The portrait is executed in the high-relief style typical of Domitianic bronze coinage struck at the Rome mint.

Aanvullende informatie

The FIDES PVBLICA reverse type was deliberately revived by Domitian as part of a broader program of religious and moral restoration — the emperor positioned himself as the upholder of public faith at precisely the moment his relationship with the Senate was deteriorating beyond repair. Issuing such types in 88–89 was pointed: the Saturninus revolt on the Rhine broke out in January 89, and Domitian's subsequent purges made the coin's message read as either reassurance or warning, depending on one's standing in Rome.
