| Obverse description | Radiate or laureate bust of Domitian facing right, depicted with a draped and cuirassed shoulder, the effigy rendered in the high-relief style characteristic of early Flavian imperial coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's broad features and close-cropped hair surmounted by a laurel wreath, conveying imperial authority. The encircling Latin legend runs along the periphery of the flan, naming Domitian as Caesar and son of the deified Vespasian, with reference to his seventh consulship. The die work shows confident, deeply cut lettering typical of Rome mint production under the Flavians. The coin exhibits an overall green patina consistent with long burial and subsequent excavation. |
