DOMITIAN, (A.D. 81-96), issue struck at Rome in A.D.88-89, AE sestertius, obv. IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XIIII CENS PER PP, head laureate to right, rev. IOVI VICTORI around, S C in exergue, Jupiter seated to left, holding Victory and sceptre, (cf.S.902, RIC 358, C.313). Evidence of corrosion on edge and behind head, otherwise nearly very fine and rare.
Jupiter the Victorious sitting with the image of Victory in his right hand, is regarded as the conqueror of all things. In this example Domitian ascribes the glory of their victory to Jupiter or rather to designate himself with the form and attributes of Jupiter Victor.
