| Reverse description | Vesta, draped and hooded, seated left upon a throne, extending her right hand forward to hold a palladium and grasping a long transverse sceptre in her left hand. The figure is rendered in a classical style befitting the goddess of the hearth, emphasizing her sacral role within the Roman state religion. The legend PRINCEPS IVVENTVTIS arcs around the design field, identifying Domitian's honorific title as Prince of the Youth. The overall composition reflects the Flavian period's deliberate association of the imperial family with traditional Roman religious imagery. |
