| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Domitian facing left, draped at the shoulder, rendered in bold high relief with finely detailed hair and laurel wreath. The imperial effigy is portrayed with strong, naturalistic features characteristic of Flavian portraiture. The surrounding legend runs clockwise along the beaded border, identifying the emperor with his full titulature. The field shows the characteristic patina and surface texture of a hammered bronze as. |

The legend LVD SAEC FEC — ludi saeculares fecit, "he celebrated the Secular Games" — places this as commemorating Domitian's revival of the ludi saeculares in 88 AD, moved forward from the Augustan 110-year cycle to realign the games with his own reign. The decision was politically deliberate: by invoking the ritual that Augustus had used to inaugurate a new age, Domitian positioned himself as the inaugurator of a second one. The Augustan precedent was well known, and the parallel was not subtle.
The games of 88 included three nights of theatrical performance, chariot races, and animal hunts — Suetonius records Domitian presiding in Greek dress, which caused its own controversy among the senatorial class.
