A reexamination of the portraits traditionally assigned to Domitia Longina reveals that they can be divided into three distinct types. Type I was created at the time of Domitia's marriage to Domitian in A.D. 70; type II at the time of Domitian's accession in A.D. 81, celebrating Domitia's new position as Augusta and consort of the Dominus et Deus; and type III after Domitian's assassination, honoring Domitia's participation in the plot to kill her husband. The portraits of Domitia attest to her enduring social and political significance
