JUDAEA. Domitian (AD 81-96). AE28 (28mm, 17.30 gm, 12h). NGC Choice F 5/5 - 3/5, repainted. AD 92/3. IMP CAES DOMIT AVG-GERM PM TR P XI, radiate bust of Domitian right, wearing aegis / IMP XXI COS-XVI CENS P P P, seven-branched palm tree with two bunches of dates. GBC 6, 6485. RPC II 2307.

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.
