| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, depicted with aegis on the left shoulder, rendered in high relief with bold and characteristically Flavian portraiture. The emperor is shown with a strong, mature facial profile and short hair beneath the laurel wreath, befitting his imperial dignity. The encircling legend reads IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XIII CENS PER P P, distributed around the full circumference of the coin field. The die work displays the confident, authoritative engraving style typical of the Rome Mint under the Flavian dynasty. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian's 87 AD coinage falls within a period of aggressive religious propaganda following his consolidation of power after the Year of the Four Emperors' long shadow and the tensions of his early reign. His elevation of Jupiter as personal protector was more than piety — Domitian styled himself as Jupiter's earthly representative, a claim that alienated the Senate and contributed to the hostility that colors nearly every surviving ancient account of his rule. The IOVI VICTORI type belongs to that deliberate program.
RIC II.1 #527 is attributed to the Rome mint's seventh tribunician year output.
