Domitian, 13 September 81 - 18 September 96 A.D.
|Domitian|, |Domitian,| |13| |September| |81| |-| |18| |September| |96| |A.D.|, For this type, RIC II-1 lists only the dupondius denomination. BMCRE II lists the type as a dupondius but notes that distinguishing dupondii and asses is uncertain. We believe it is usually possible to distinguish between the dupondius and as by metal and weight: c. 11 - 14g orichalcum for the dupondius and c. 8 - 10g copper for the as. The dupondius seems to be more common. The American Numismatic Society's Online Coins of the Roman empire lists all specimens as bronze dupondii but two of the eight specimens shown are clearly asses and six are clearly dupondii.
