| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, draped and cuirassed, with the characteristic radiate crown denoting the dupondius denomination. The imperial effigy is rendered in a vigorous, naturalistic style typical of Flavian portraiture, with pronounced facial features. The encircling Latin legend runs from lower left to upper right around the bust, naming the emperor with his full titulature. The flan is slightly irregular, as is customary for struck bronze coinage of the period. |

Domitian's FORTVNAE AVGVSTI issues belong to his broader program of associating the imperial office with divine favor — a program that grew increasingly insistent as his reign progressed and senatorial opposition hardened. By 85 AD he had already assumed a permanent consulship and was tightening control over public religious expression. The Fortuna type on the dupondius was not incidental; invoking the goddess's protection of the emperor specifically, rather than Rome generally, was a pointed theological distinction.
RIC II.1 290 is well-attested across major collections, though die alignment and flan quality vary considerably across the type.
