| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, depicted with aegis draped over the shoulder, rendered in high relief typical of Flavian imperial portraiture. The emperor's effigy displays characteristic curling hair arranged in a laurel wreath, with strong, idealized facial features. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The portrait occupies the majority of the obverse field, consistent with the monumental style of Domitianic sestertii struck at Rome. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian's German campaigns of 83–85 AD were controversial from the outset. He fought the Chatti across the Rhine frontier, claimed a triumph, and was mocked by contemporaries — Tacitus and Pliny among them — for staging a hollow victory over an unconquered people. The Germania Capta coinage was a direct instrument of that propaganda push, minting military success into bronze at a moment when the Senate and intellectual class were openly skeptical of the claim.
RIC II.1 274 belongs to the emission tied specifically to 85 AD, distinguishable from the earlier Chattan issue by its obverse titulature reflecting Domitian's accumulated imperatorial salutations.
