| Reverse description | Standing figure of Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, depicted facing left in a statuesque, full-length pose at the center of the field. She is helmeted and draped in a flowing chiton, raising her right hand aloft — likely holding a thunderbolt — while her left hand rests upon a tall vertical spear or lance, the butt of which rests on a shield at her feet. The rendering is characteristic of the Minerva Pacifera or Minerva type frequently employed on Domitianic coinage, reflecting the emperor's particular devotion to this deity. The surrounding legend IMP XXII COS XVI CENS P P P is distributed around the periphery in bold Latin capitals. |
