| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Annona, personification of the imperial grain supply, is depicted seated left on a throne or chair, extending her right hand toward a small modius (grain measure) held by a child or figure standing before her to the right. In her left hand or extending behind her is a cornucopiae or grain stalks, symbolizing abundance. A ship's prow (proua) appears in the upper right field, referencing the seaborne transport of grain to Rome. The legend ANNONA AVG flanks the central scene on the left, with the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) placed in the lower field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian's ANNONA AVG issues from 85 AD belong to a sustained propaganda effort to associate the emperor with Rome's grain supply at a moment when his relationship with the Senate was deteriorating sharply. The annona — the state grain distribution system — was politically explosive; disruptions to it had ended careers and, on occasion, lives. Domitian's aggressive promotion of himself as its guarantor was calculated.
RIC II.1 377 falls within the first of Domitian's reorganized bronze series, following the reintroduction of the orichalcum/bronze distinction under Nero that Domitian largely respected.
