Ex.NGC CH F, Ex. Morris Collection

This reverse type commemorates the events during the civil war of 69 A.D. Upon the arrival of the flavian troops in Italy, Sabinus (the elder brother of Vespasian) was forced to seek refuge in the Capitoline fortress (the sanctuary of Jupiter). He also brought in Domitian, his nephew. Eventually the fortress was set on fire and Sabinus captured and executed. Domitian managed to escape and found shelter at one of his father's clients. Later in that place he built a temple for Jupiter Conservator (= the Protector). Source: Tacitus, Histories, the 3rd book, section LXXIV : "Domitianus.....ac potiente rerum patre, disiecto aeditui contubernio, modicum sacellum Iovi Conservatori aramque posuit casus suos in marmore expressam)

Thanks to Curtis Clay for the info:

Strack 187 records that bare-headed bust type in Vienna, Florence, and Oxford. Oxford spec. illustrated pl. III, looks like same obv. die as yours. Seaby's Roman Silver Coins, Hadrian 466a, records this variety from Strack. Certainly rare!
