Commentary


Rubans de type 3. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. La légende de revers n’est pas anti-horaire comme sur les exemplaires connus, mais normale. Au droit il n’y a pas de césure. L’émission de ce quinaire doit correspondre à la prise du deuxième consulat par Domitien.
Type 3 ribbons. This type appears to be much rarer than general works suggest. It appears to be completely unpublished and unlisted. It is missing from all consulted works. The reverse legend is not counterclockwise as on known examples, but normal. On the obverse, there is no caesura. The issue of this quinary must correspond to the taking of the second consulate by Domitian.

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.
