Gaius Domitianus – Hand-Struck Silver Antoninianus Replica

Gaius Domitianus was a usurper known from several sources. He is said to have been the victor over the Emperor Macrianus. However, it has also been suggested that Macrianus was defeated by Aureolus, the rebel general of the siege of Milan. After his victory (over someone), Domitianus established himself at Gallia Aquintania where he proclaimed himself Emperor and a descendant of the Emperor Domitian (how that could have been is uncertain and most likely false). Domitianus did strike his own coinage which the academics initially declare was a forgery.
