Ancient Rome 88-89AD Domitian Minerva Silver Denarius Extra Fine (EF40)
Titus Flavius Domitianus (51–96 CE) was the youngest son of Vespasian and the third emperor of the Flavian dynasty, ruling from 81 to 96 CE. His reign was marked by strong central authority, military campaigns that secured the empire’s borders, and extensive building projects in Rome, including the completion of the Flavian Amphitheatre (Colosseum). Domitian also implemented financial and administrative reforms to strengthen imperial control, but his autocratic style and harsh treatment of the Senate earned him a reputation for tyranny. Despite this, he maintained relative stability and prosperity in the empire. Domitian was ultimately assassinated in a palace conspiracy, ending the Flavian dynasty and leaving a mixed legacy of efficiency and fear.
Obverse: Laureate head of Domitian facing right, with the legend around.
Reverse: Minerva standing facing left, holding a thunderbold and a spear, with a shield at her side, and the legend around.
