Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Domitian, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, consul for the 13th time, censor for life, father of the nation.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Virtus, the goddess of military valour, depicted standing to the right in martial attire, her right foot resting upon a helmet as a symbol of conquest. In her right hand she holds a spear, and in her left a parazonium (a short military sword), attributes emblematic of Roman martial virtue. The legend VIRTVTI AVGVSTI flanks the figure, while the senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the field, confirming this issue as a bronze denomination sanctioned by the Senate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian's VIRTVTI AVGVSTI issues belong to a period of aggressive self-promotion following his Danubian campaigns against the Chatti and Dacians in the mid-80s. The emperor claimed a triumph in 83 AD over the Chatti and awarded himself the cognomen Germanicus — claims that ancient sources, particularly Tacitus, treated with open contempt. Coinage invoking military virtue served a pointed political purpose for a ruler whose battlefield credentials were disputed even in his own lifetime.
