	Domitianus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Domitianus was a Roman military commander who declared himself emperor of the secessionist Gallic Empire (the provinces of Gaul (France and the Rhineland) and Britain) for a short time in about 271.
		The evidence for Domitianus' existence and rule is limited to two coins, one discovered in the Loire area of France in 1900 and which was thought to be a forgery, and one discovered fused in a pot with some 5,000 other coins of the period 250-275 (thus providing incontrovertible provenance) in Oxfordshire, England, in 2003.
		Domitius Domitianus (296-297) was a Roman usurper based in Egypt.

		A certain Domitianus is mentioned in sources written centuries later as a high-ranking army officer punished for treason, but they do not state that he claimed to be emperor.
		A second, identical, coin of Domitianus was said to have been found in a hoard in central France a hundred years ago, but had been rejected by some as a hoax.
		The hoard in which the Domitianus coin was found consists of 4957 Roman coins, struck in very base silver (most look bronze), and which range in date from AD 251 to 279.

	Education \| Coin depicts obscure Roman ruler
		Domitianus is so obscure that the only evidence that he became emperor is two small coins: one found over a century ago in France, the other, revealed yesterday, found near Oxford.
		Domitianus is now believed to have been a rebel emperor from the Gaul region, who may have seized power in 271 AD in the short lived "Gallic empire", and ruled for less than a year before he was toppled.
		The only other Domitianus coin was found in the Loire in around 1900.

		The antiquity of this coin of Domitianus is beyond doubt as it came from a hoard consisting of over 5,000 common Roman coins fused together in a third century AD pot, which had to be painstakingly separated by British Museum conservators.
		It is possible that Domitianus was one of these wronged husbands who assassinated Victorinus, briefly seizing power and taking control of the mint.
		Domitianus must then have been overthrown (in an incident left historically unrecorded) by Tetricus, the governor of Acquitaine who became emperor from AD271-4.

		It is only the second coin ever found showing the head of Domitianus who seized power - and the mint - in the breakaway Gallic Empire which included modern England, France and parts of Germany and lasted for 15 turbulent years.
		The first coin bearing Domitianus' head was found in the Loire area of France in 1900, dismissed as a fake because his name was unknown and then lost from sight in a small museum in Nantes until very recently.
		Domitianus is believed to have murdered Victorinus, who had a habit of raping the wives of his subordinates, before himself being ousted by Tetricus who ruled from 271 to 274 when he was defeated by Aurelian and the empire was restored.

		For example Domitianus had abandoned viniculture in 92 A.D. and even destroyed half of the vineyards because of difficulties in supplying cereals to the army of the City of Rome.
		For example, he went to Rome on the problems of limitations of viniculture and was influential to the extent that Domitianus changed the law and Skopelianos was awarded and honoured.
		Smyrna during the Domitianus period was under the rule of Rufus, a Roman bureaucrat (curator).

	Finding a Lost Emperor in a Clay Pot
		Domitianus, the man featured on the coin, seems to have grabbed power in the short interlude between the death of the emperor Victorinus in A.D. 271 and the accession of Tetricus later that year.
		Domitianus was only one of a string of short-lived usurpers, who claimed imperial power before the breakaway state was reincorporated in A.D. The rebel emperors differed from their Roman counterparts in a number of significant ways.
		The bearded Domitianus bears a striking resemblance to his immediate predecessor, Victorinus, and the similarity between the two portraits suggests that the coin may not depict an actual likeness of Domitianus.

		When I showed our coin to the woman who has been working on it she jumped for joy because it bore out everything she had said about hers,” Abdy said, noting the French coin had been dated to A.D. The Gallic Empire was established in 260, when rule from Rome was weakening, by Postumus.
		Domitianus is believed to have murdered Victorinus, who had a habit of raping the wives of his subordinates, before himself being ousted by Tetricus.

		A.D. Domitianus was proclaimed emperor at the beginning of Aurelian's reign, but killed soon afterwards [[45]].
		He perhaps is to be identified with the general Domitianus who is said to have defeated the Macriani about A.D. The discovery of a second specimen (2004) of a coin minted in the name of Domitianus strengthens the view that Domitianus was acclaimed emperor.

	Ignorance Denied
		Records mention a Domitianus being punished for treason under the Emperor Aurelian (AD 270-5), but give no clue that his crime had been to attempt to seize power himself.
		Around 100 years ago an identical coin portraying the bearded face of Domitianus was found in central France, but was dismissed as a hoax.
		However the appearance of a second coin, fused inside a hoard lost for centuries is seen as proof of the long-forgotten chapter in Roman history.
