| Reverse description | Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, depicted standing left in a martial pose, wearing a crested helmet and long flowing robes. She raises her right hand holding a thunderbolt and grasps a vertical spear in her left hand, with a large round shield resting at her side. This type belongs to the well-known Minerva series of Domitian's denarii, of which four distinct reverse variants are recorded; this example corresponds to the type showing Minerva with thunderbolt and spear. The reverse legend is arranged around the field in Latin capitals, and the overall composition reflects the crisp, authoritative style of the Rome mint under Domitian. |
