Domitia Longina, the daughter of a famous Roman general, married Domitian in AD 71. A boy was soon born to the couple, but died very young. The marriage was a tempestuous one and Domitia endured a period of exile, but was back in favor after AD 84. The historian Cassius Dio states Domitia played a role in her husband's assassination on 18 September AD 96. She died peacefully sometime between AD 126 and AD 130. Her aurei are especially rare.
