Commentary
Poids léger. Qualité inhabituelle pour ce type de bronze. Le quadrans avec le rhinocéros à gauche semble un peu plus rare que celui avec le même animal à droite.
Lightweight. Unusual quality for this type of bronze. The quadrant with the rhinoceros on the left seems a little rarer than the one with the same animal on the right.

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.
