Issued in 85 AD to commemorate Domitian's campaigns against the Chatti in Germania, this sestertius belongs to a propagandistic series celebrating victories that contemporaries — and later historians — viewed with considerable skepticism. Tacitus and others questioned whether Domitian's German triumph of 83 AD represented a genuine military achievement or a staged affair designed to manufacture prestige. The Senate was compelled to award him the title Germanicus regardless.
RIC II.1 #351 places this piece within the early reorganization of the imperial bronze coinage under Domitian, a period when orichalcum sestertii were struck with notably careful die preparation at Rome.
