| Reverse description | A military horseman, helmeted and in full gallop to the right, occupies the central field, his right arm raised and holding a spear or javelin aloft in a striking pose. The rider is depicted with a military cloak billowing behind him, conveying dynamic martial energy consistent with the Princeps Iuventutis iconography used for imperial heirs. The horse is shown at full extension with all four hooves raised, rendered with considerable sculptural confidence. The circumferential legend PRINCEPS IVVENTVTIS, meaning 'Prince of Youth,' surrounds the composition, affirming Domitian's designated role as leader of the equestrian order and heir to the Flavian dynasty. The field is plain with no exergual inscription. |
