| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, with aegis draped across the left shoulder and chest, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curled hair. The imperial effigy presents the emperor in a commanding profile with a short beard, consistent with Flavian portraiture conventions. The surrounding legend is disposed in a continuous band within a beaded border, reading IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XI CENS POT P P. The overall composition reflects the authoritative, classicising style characteristic of the Roman imperial mint under the Flavian dynasty. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian's persistent use of PAX AVGVST types from 85 onward was partly propagandistic reframing — his German campaigns of 83–85, fought against the Chatti, were controversial enough that critics, including later sources like Tacitus, dismissed the "triumph" as staged. Minting peace imagery immediately after was a deliberate counter-narrative. The orichalcum sestertius, with its large flan, gave that message maximum urban visibility in daily transactions.
RIC II.1 354 falls within Domitian's 11th tribunician power year, a tighter date anchor than the reign provides on its own.
