| Beschrijving keerzijde | Jupiter's eagle stands facing on a thunderbolt, wings dramatically spread to either side, head turned to the left in a heraldic pose. The thunderbolt, rendered as a horizontal bundle beneath the eagle's talons, serves as the bird's perch and alludes to Jupiter's divine authority. The reverse legend IVPPITER CONSERVATOR arcs around the upper field, proclaiming Jupiter as the protector of the emperor. The composition is bold and fills the flan, reflecting the Flavian dynasty's close association with the Capitoline deity. |

The IVPPITER CONSERVATOR reverse type appears across Domitian's early imperial coinage as a deliberate theological claim — Jupiter not merely as patron deity but as active protector of the emperor specifically. Domitian's insistence on divine intimacy with Jupiter was unusually aggressive even by imperial standards, and ancient sources, particularly Suetonius, record that he demanded to be addressed as *dominus et deus* during his reign. The coinage reflects this posture years before the honorific became routine in court protocol.
RIC II.1 #144 dates to 82–83 AD, the first full years after Domitian secured undisputed power following Titus's death.
