| Reverse description | The emperor, presumably in triumphal dress, rides in a quadriga drawn by four elephants proceeding to the right. Nike (Victory) stands atop the elephants, facing right, holding a wreath in her right hand and a palm branch in her left, symbolizing imperial triumph. The composition references the elephant quadriga motif associated with deified emperors and triumphal iconography in Alexandrian coinage. The regnal year date appears in the field, marking this issue to year 15 of Domitian's reign. The reverse design reflects the grandiose ceremonial imagery characteristic of Flavian propaganda. |
