| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Domitian facing right, rendered in high relief with naturalistic portraiture typical of Flavian die-cutting. The youthful effigy shows close-cropped hair with a laurel wreath, the neck truncated at the base. The encircling legend runs clockwise from the lower left, framing the portrait within the broad field characteristic of early Imperial sestertii. |

This issue falls within Domitian's tenure as Caesar under Vespasian, struck before his own accession in 81 AD. The Flavian dynasty's aggressive promotion of Pax imagery was partly a calculated response to the civil wars of 69 AD — the Year of the Four Emperors — which had ended with Vespasian's forces taking Rome by force. Advertising peace was politically necessary for a family whose own rise was anything but peaceful.
RIC II.1 #651 is attributed to the Rome mint under revised Flavian chronology established in the 2007 second edition of RIC volume II.
