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 at the time 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 . (The coin, and its accompanying hoard, have been acquired by the Ashmolean Museum , Oxford .)

It is thought that Domitianus' rule may have lasted as little as a few days. He appears to have been liquidated for treason by the emperor Aurelian , perhaps for having the coins made.
