Commentary


Style local. C’est le troisième exemplaire identifié. Semble de mêmes coins que l’exemplaire de la collection Sydenham (fig 32 décrit sous le numéro 113) avec une variante de légende de droit, exemplaire semble-t-il mal lu ? Même coin de droit que l’exemplaire de l’American Numismatic Society (RPC n° 1657, pl. 75 = NY. 1944.100.57839) qui provient du trésor de Caesarea découvert en 1906 et qui contenait quatre drachmes de Domitien césar dont les deux exemplaires connus de style local.
Local style. This is the third example identified. Appears to have the same dies as the Sydenham Collection example (fig 32 described as number 113) with a variant obverse legend, perhaps a misread example? Same obverse die as the American Numismatic Society example (RPC no. 1657, pl. 75 = NY. 1944.100.57839) from the Caesarea hoard discovered in 1906, which contained four drachmas of Domitian Caesar, including the two known local style examples

Historical background


DOMITIANUS

(12/69-18/09/96)

Caesar under Vespasianus

In December 69, Domitian received the title of Caesar - therefore heir to the Empire - at the same time as his brother Titus. He is however the only one present in Rome with his uncle Flavius Sabinus, who perishes in the fire of the Capitol. Proclaimed "Princeps Iuventutis" (Prince of Youth), he kept his title even after the death of his father in 79. After the death of his brother Titus on September 13, 81, which some describe as an assassination at the instigation of Domitian himself, he becomes emperor and opens a lamentable reign which will end with his assassination.
