| Reverse description | Germania, personified as a mourning female captive, is depicted seated right in a attitude of dejection upon a pile of arms, her right hand raised to her bowed head in a gesture of grief. Beneath her lies a broken or discarded spear or shield, symbolising Roman military triumph. The type commemorates Domitian's Germanic campaigns and the subjugation of the Germanic tribes. The surrounding legend IMP XIIII COS XIIII CENS P P P runs within a beaded border, and the overall composition follows the well-established Roman tradition of depicting conquered peoples as lamenting figures to underscore imperial victory. |
