In 88 AD, Domitian initiated the Saecular Games (LVDI SAECVLVM), a celebration  to mark the commencement of a new age, or Saeculum. The games were first  celebrated in either 348 or 249 BC and were supposed to be held every 100 to 105  years; however, after 146 BC the schedule was thrown off track by civil wars and  disruptions, and the next Saeculum was not celebrated until Augustus did so in  17 BC. Claudius, using the earlier formula, celebrated a new set in 47 AD, but  Domitian dated his Saeculum from the Augustan games 105 years previous. The  reverse of this handsome coins shows Domitian opening the games with a sacrifice  before the Temple of Jupiter Stator, attended by two flute-playing musicians.
