| Lot description: Ancients JUDAEA. Caesarea Maritima. Domitian, as Augustus (AD 81-96). AE (23mm, 10.35 gm, 12h). NGC Choice VF 4/5 - 3/5, repatinated. Judaea Capta issue, ca. AD 83(?). IMP DOMITIANVS CAES AVG GERMANICVS, laureate head of Domitian left / Minerva standing facing, head left, outstretched right hand on trophy to left, shield and spear in left hand. GBC 6, 6482. RPC II 2305. From the Eyeappealing Collection. Domitian, often remembered as a controversial figure in Roman history, lived a complex life marked by both admirable achievements and a dark reputation. Born in AD 51 into the esteemed Flavian family, his father Vespasian's rise to power marked the conclusion of the tumultuous Year of the Four Emperors in AD 69. Despite his auspicious lineage, Domitian spent much of his early life in the shadow of his elder brother Titus. This overshadowing may have contributed to the development of his reserved and resentful personality. However, when Titus passed away in AD 81 after a brief two-year rule, Domitian swiftly stepped into the role of emperor, marking the beginning of his own rule within the Flavian dynasty. www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/judaea/judaea-caesarea-maritima-domitian-as-augustus-ad-81-96-ae-23mm-1035-gm-12h-ngc-choice-vf-4-5-3-5-repatinated/p/61636-11099.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61636-08102026 HID02906262019 © 2026 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved Certification number: NGC 2106359022 |  |
