| Reverse description | Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, depicted striding vigorously to the right in full martial panoply, raising a spear in her right hand and carrying a round shield on her left arm. The goddess is helmeted and rendered in the active, martial style favored on Domitianic bronzes, reflecting the emperor's particular devotion to Minerva as his divine patroness. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently displayed in the field, flanking the central figure to left and right respectively. The reverse type belongs to the standard Minerva series that recurs consistently throughout Domitian's reign on aes coinage struck at Rome. |
