"Caesar Domitianus Augustus: The Enigmatic Emperor Immortalized in Art and Coinage" Step into the world of ancient Rome as we unravel the captivating story of Caesar Domitianus Augustus. From his portrayal on coins to iconic artworks, this enigmatic emperor's legacy is etched in history. Intriguingly, a stunning aureus coin issued by Domitian himself transports us back to 90-91 AD. Crafted by an unknown artist, it showcases the regal visage of this powerful ruler. Similarly, a denarius coin from 77-78 AD captures his commanding presence with meticulous detail. As we delve deeper into the numismatic realm, a sestertius coin from 81 AD reveals another facet of Domitian's reign. Its intricate design speaks volumes about his grandeur and influence over Roman society. Equally remarkable is a dupondius coin dating back to 85 AD that further immortalizes him through artistry. But it is not just through currency that Domitian's image endures; masterpieces like "Landscape with Saint John on Patmos" by Nicolas Poussin transport us to biblical times where he plays a significant role. This painting depicts Saint John receiving divine revelations while exiled on Patmos during Domitian's rule. The Arch of Titus stands tall as yet another testament to this emperor's impact. Erected in 1855, it commemorates Titus' triumphs including the Siege of Jerusalem during which he served under his older brother, Emperor Vespasian - father to our subject. Delving into literature brings forth Plate 12 from "The Twelve Caesars, " created between 1610-1640. In this work, we find an exquisite profile portrait capturing the essence of Domitian alongside other notable emperors who shaped Rome's destiny.
