Commentary


Rubans de type 3. La manque de métal devant le coup serait en fait une contremarque comme le sont les deux exemplaires du Cabinet des médailles de la BnF (SNG France 2/ 2171 et 2172, pl. 120, contremarque petite tête d’Athéna, Howgego 190). Même coin de droit que les exemplaires du Cabinet des médailles de la BnF.

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.
