| Reverse description | Frontal view of the Capitolium (Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus) set upon a podium of four steps, depicted in careful architectural detail. Within the temple interior stand three deities: Minerva, Jupiter, and Juno arranged left to right, rendered as enthroned or standing cult statues. The pediment is decorated with a central bust flanked by snake-legged giants, referencing the Gigantomachy myth closely associated with Capitoline iconography. Atop the temple roof, a central quadriga is flanked by two bigae, representing the triumphant divine order restored to the Capitoline Hill after the fire of 69 AD. The composition commemorates Titus's restoration of the temple, destroyed during the civil war of the Year of the Four Emperors. |
