| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P VII (Translation: Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestate Septima. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Domitian, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, high priest, holder of tribunician power for the seventh time.) |
| Reverse description | Minerva, helmeted and wearing aegis, advancing vigorously to the right in martial stride, raising a spear in her right hand and holding a round shield in her left arm. The goddess is depicted in full figure with pleated drapery falling about her form. The type is associated with Domitian's personal devotion to Minerva as his divine patron. The reverse legend is distributed around the field, enclosed within a beaded border. |
