So, whenever his father and brother were out for campaigns, he would act as the representative of the Flavian Dynasty.</p><p><br /></p><p>He had an easy life, a privileged one, as both his father and brother were of a high level. He got an education in the Senatorial class of Ancient Rome and studied rhetoric and literature. He also learned and had an interest in poetry and art.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite his wisdom, he was quite upset with his appearance, mainly for the reason of him being bald at a very early age. He started wearing wigs for the rest of his life. He also wrote a book on hair care and made clear about his insecurities regarding baldness.</p><p><br /></p><p>He was married to Domitia Longina. Domitia was married to the Roman Senate but was forced to leave him and marry Domitian.</p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian was attracted by Domitia’s beauty and also for her being the granddaughter of Junia Lepida who was the descendent of Emperor Augustus. He had a son with Domitia, but he died at the age of 3 .</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Read more: <a href="https://historyten.com/roman/domitian-facts/#ixzz7FWYSzVNY" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://historyten.com/roman/domitian-facts/#ixzz7FWYSzVNY" rel="nofollow">https://historyten.com/roman/domitian-facts/#ixzz7FWYSzVNY</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1412370[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1412371[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>about my coin</p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian Minerva / vespasian/ denarius</p><p>no Legends arund the minerva/ thats why i brought it</p><p><br /></p><p>CAESAR AVG F DOMITIANVS COS IIII, laureate head right</p><p>COS-IIII across fields, Minerva standing right on prow,</p><p>brandishing spear, holding shield on left arm, owl at foot right.</p><p><br /></p><p>listed as very rare type/ more information would be welocme</p><p>(Note: no small globe beneath the neck truncation!.</p><p>The ones with that mark are Ephesos, RIC 1493)</p><p>3.30g/ roma minted i think</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Minerva is the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, justice, law, victory, and the sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy. Minerva is not a patron of violence such as Mars, but of defensive war only. From the second century BC onward, the Romans equated her with the Greek goddess Athena. Minerva is one of the three Roman deities in the Capitoline Triad, along with Jupiter and Juno.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
