| Reverse description | Minerva, helmeted and in military attire, stands facing right atop a rostral column decorated with the prow of a ship, brandishing a spear in her right hand and gripping a round shield in her left. An owl, the goddess's sacred attribute, stands to the right at the base of the column, also facing right. The composition is bold and propagandistic, associating Domitian's reign with divine martial protection. The reverse legend encircles the design in Latin capitals, recording the emperor's acclamation as imperator, his consulship, and his censorial titles. |
