Reverse description Minerva, goddess of wisdom and warfare and a particular divine patron of Domitian, stands facing right in a martial posture, wearing a crested helmet and robes. She holds an upright spear in her right hand and a round shield rests against her left side. The figure is rendered in the classical standing style common to Flavian reverses, occupying the central field with the encircling legend above and around. The type reflects Domitian's deep personal devotion to Minerva, which became a hallmark of his later imperial coinage.
