| Beschrijving keerzijde | Mars, helmeted and in military dress, strides vigorously to the left in a dynamic advancing pose, holding aloft a small figure of Victory in his outstretched right hand and grasping a trophy over his left shoulder. The composition fills the central field boldly, reflecting the martial iconography favoured by Domitian to celebrate his Germanic campaigns. The large senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanks the figure to left and right in the mid-field, as was standard on Flavian aes coinage. The reverse field shows pronounced wear and granular surface texture characteristic of circulated bronze issues of this period. |

Domitian's 86 AD bronzes were struck at a moment when the emperor was tightening his grip on public imagery following the Dacian wars and the politically fraught aftermath of the revolt of Saturninus — still two years away, but tensions were already building on the Rhine frontier. The SC issues of this year reflect a deliberate program of military propaganda tied to campaigns that Domitian prosecuted personally, insisting on the imperator salutations his generals' victories earned him.
RIC II.1 496 is among the better-documented Domitianic aes issues, though die alignment and flan quality vary considerably across the type.
