| Reverse description | Vesta, the goddess of the sacred hearth, is depicted seated left upon a throne with a footstool, draped in flowing robes. In her extended right hand she holds a patera, and in her left hand a long sceptre. A lighted torch or altar element appears before her, emphasising her role as guardian of the eternal flame. The scene is enclosed within a dotted border, with the Latin legend PRINCEPS IVVENTVTIS distributed around the periphery, acclaiming Domitian as Prince of Youth. |
