DOMITIA AVGVSTA IMP DOMIT, draped bust of Domitia right, hair bunched high on forehead and braided in long plait down back of neck. Reverse : CONCOR-DIA AVGVST, peacock walking right. RIC 151; BMC 61; RSC 2. A magnificent example, boldly struck with the head of Domitia in high relief and beautifully preserved. Very rare, one of the finest known. Superb Extremely Fine. Domitia Longina was the youngest daughter of the Roman general Corbulo and a remote descendant of the emperor Augustus through Junia Lepida, a great-great granddaughter of Augustus. Despite her father's disgrace and forced suicide under Nero in AD 67, the family survived, perhaps due to this Julio-Claudian lineage. Early in Vespasian's reign, Domitia divorced her first husband and married the future emperor Domitian. After his assassination in AD 96 she went into retirement, living for many years afterward well into the reign of Hadrian. Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000. Ex Nomos 2 (18 May 2010), 182.
