Very Rare. Ex Rinaldi, Verona, August 1983. Ex Gerhard Hirsch Nachf., 317, 18.02.2016, lot 2051. This bronze obol of great rarity was issued for dynastic propaganda of the Flavian family that came to the empire with Vespasian. It is in fact celebrated here on the reverse with the title of Augusta, Domitia Longina, wife of Domitian (ca. 53-128 AD), by whom she had a child who died. The two imperial portraits, especially that of Domitia, which appears here for the only time in the Alexandrian series, are valuable although a little worn. Domitia was a valued and respected person and survived almost 30 years of Domitian's bloody death.
