| Reverse description | A personification of Germania mourns in defeat, depicted as a seminude female figure seated left atop a pile of shields and arms, her head bowed in a posture of subjugation. She rests her right arm upon a large oval shield, with additional captured arms strewn beneath her, symbolizing Roman military supremacy over the Germanic tribes. The reverse legend GERMANICVS COS XV encircles the composition, referencing Domitian's honorific title as conqueror of the Germans and his fifteenth consulship. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, executed in the crisp, high-relief style typical of the Rome Mint under the Flavian dynasty. |
