Commentary
Rubans de type 2. Le seul exemplaire signalé provient d’une vente CNG 54, 4 février 2011, n° 1171 (autres coins).Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent penser les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous présentons un exemplaire à la vente !.
Type 2 ribbons. The only example reported comes from a CNG 54 sale, February 4, 2011, no. 1171 (other coins). This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we are presenting a example for sale!

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.
