| Beschrijving keerzijde | Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, stands facing left in the field, clad in military attire comprising a crested helmet, aegis, and long chiton. She holds a spear upright in her right hand and rests her left hand at her side, her shield set at her feet to the right. The figure is rendered in high relief with fine drapery folds, characteristic of the Minerva reverse types favored by Domitian throughout his reign. The encircling Latin legend TR POT II COS VIIII DES X P P runs around the periphery within a beaded border, recording the emperor's tribunician and consular titles. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian's ninth consulship, held in 83 AD, coincided directly with his campaign against the Chatti in Germania — a war he prosecuted personally and celebrated with a triumph that contemporaries including Tacitus treated with open contempt, arguing the victory was staged and the "captives" were purchased slaves dressed in Germanic clothing. The tribunician dating to TR POT II places this issue squarely within that politically charged moment, when Domitian was actively constructing an image of martial authority his senatorial critics refused to grant him.
