Aanvullende informatie

This sestertius commemorates Domitian's Danubian campaigns of 85–86 AD, when Dacian forces under Decebalus crossed the Danube and killed the governor of Moesia, Oppius Sabinus. Roman retaliation was swift but costly — the praetorian prefect Cornelius Fuscus was subsequently ambushed and killed in 87 AD, and his entire army destroyed. The coin predates that disaster, issued at a moment when Roman arms could still plausibly claim the upper hand.

Germania here refers specifically to earlier Rhine victories folded into Domitian's running triumph narrative, not the Dacian front itself. He had claimed the title Germanicus in 83 following the Chattan campaign.
