Reverse description A draped curule chair (sella curulis) rendered frontally in the centre of the field, its legs and elaborate fabric drapery depicted with fine linear detail. A winged thunderbolt is placed horizontally above the seat, serving as a symbol of Jupiter and imperial divine authority. The reverse type alludes to Domitian's magisterial and consular powers. The encircling Latin legend TR P COS VII DES VIII P P is distributed around the periphery, recording his tribunician power, seventh consulship, designation to an eighth consulship, and the title Pater Patriae. The composition is well-centred on the irregular hammered flan, with clear separation between the throne's legs and the ground line below.
