| Additional information |
Struck in Domitian's first year as emperor following the death of Titus in September 81 AD, this issue predates the consolidation of his tribunician and consular titles that would mark his later, more autocratic reign. The COS VII DES VIII dating is a narrow window — Domitian held the seventh consulship only briefly before assuming the eighth, compressing the production of this type into months rather than a full year's run.
