Beschrijving keerzijde The goddess Victoria, personification of military victory, stands facing left in the centre of the field, draped in a long chiton and rendered in a composed, frontal stance. She holds a long palm branch upright in her left hand, its fronds visible above, and extends a laurel wreath in her right hand toward the right. The senatorial authorisation monogram S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the left and right mid-fields flanking the figure. The surrounding legend VICTORIAE AVGVSTI is distributed around the upper and right periphery. A ground line supports the figure, and the reverse field shows the characteristic broad, flat style of Flavian bronze coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

The VICTORIAE AVGVSTI type was issued in the immediate aftermath of Domitian's Dacian campaigns of 85–86 AD, wars that were politically awkward — the Romans suffered a significant defeat under Oppius Sabinus in 85 and later negotiated a peace that many contemporaries considered humiliating. The victory coinage was, in part, an exercise in imperial image management, asserting a triumph the senate was not entirely convinced had been earned.

RIC II.1 #483 belongs to the revised Carradice-Buttrey corpus, which substantially reorganized the Domitianic bronze sequence from the older RIC numbering.
