Commentary
Poids léger. Rubans de type 3. Petite égide sur le cou. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente qui semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les principaux ouvrages.
Lightweight. Type 3 ribbons. Small aegis on the neck. This is the first time we have offered this type for sale, which seems rarer than the main publications suggest.

Historical background
DOMITIANUS
(12/69-18/09/96)
Augustus
Domitian, born in 51, became august in 81, succeeding his brother. In 86, the Capitoline games were organized for the first time. The Flavian Palace is erected on the Palatine. In 88, the secular games were celebrated with pomp. A first campaign is launched on Dacia which ends with a peace of compromise, leaving Decebalus master of the situation. Domitian has just won a brilliant campaign against the Sarmatians and the Suevi (IMP XXII). Agricola died in disgrace on August 23, 93. In 95, Domitian had Flavius Clemens, his cousin, executed. The following year, Domitian will be assassinated at the instigation of his wife and the prefect of the Praetorium.
