Historical background
DOMITIA
(128 BC)
The Domitia gens is a plebeian family. The moneyer appears to be the grandson of the 162 BC suffect consul of the same name. He is also the son of the consul of 122 BC, proconsul the following year. He must triumph over Bituit, king of the Arvernes, create the province of Narbonnaise (Provincia) and found Narbo in 118 BC. Cnæus Domitius Ahenobarbus is tribune of the plebs in 104 BC and consul in 96 BC J.-C. with Caius Cassius Longinus, then censor in 92 BC with Lucius Licinius Crassus.
