This is OK since I am more of a bronze man really. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting episode. Thanks giorgio11.</p><p>Domitian had plenty of enemies (not unusual as we know for Roman emperors), specially among the pretorians. This was principally due to his ruthless supression of the so-called Saturninus mutiny, during which the governor of the province of Germania Superior, and the commander of the legion stationed in Mainz (Mogontiacum) rose in rebellion against Rome. This made him many enemies among the pretorians.</p><p><br /></p><p>As mentioned, Domitianus was in fact an able military commander and spent much time on various campaigns. This sestertius celebrates the victory in the campaign against the Chattii in Germania. It shows Domitian on horse spearing a Germanic warrior.&nbsp; I very much like the portrait on this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
