Domitius Domitianus unique argenteus, for Diocletian, 
(3.03g) Alexandria Mint, c. 295 AD, 

DIOCLETANVS AVG Laureate head right, with facial features of 
Domitius Domitianus. 
PROVIDENTIAE AVGG Four tetrarchs sacrificing before walls, 6 
turrets, 
Mintmark ALE. 
cf. RIC7a(R5) var. (no D symbol to right of walls); RSC427b
var. (ditto). 
The obverse was altered from an aureus die of Domitius 
Domitianus, with legend DOMITIANVS AVG, the recut first 
letters slightly smaller.

RIC VI notes, "Portraits in this issue can show the 
features of Domitius Domitianus: cf. Pink, N. Z. 1930, 
plate 1, 16." The obverse die has been altered from an 
aureus die of the usurper. Argentii of Domitius Domitianus 
are not known. The reverse type of this argenteus is 
symbolic - the empire was in many parts reduced to walled 
cities and fortresses, and it was ruled by four men who 
recognized that in those desperate times their 
strength was derived from their conformity.
