Historical context

This silver coin was issued under the authority of Domitian in the Roman Empire at the mint of Rome. It forms part of the coinage produced during the imperial era spanning from 27 BC to AD 476, carrying obverse titles that record Domitian as emperor and pontifex maximus.

Struck as a denarius, the coin belongs to the denomination that served as the standard Roman silver coin from its introduction during the Second Punic War in circa 211 BC until the reign of Gordian III. The obverse features the laureate head of the emperor, accompanied by the inscription "IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M". The reverse pairs the titulature "TR P COS VII DES VIII P P" with a draped square seat surmounted by a semicircular frame with corn-ears.
