| Reverse description | Domitian seated right on a low tribunal platform, the fascia inscribed FRVG AC, presiding over the distribution of gifts during the Ludi Saeculares. Facing him, two togati citizens stand to the left, each carrying a sack of grain or gifts. In the background, a tetrastyle temple is depicted, evoking the sacred context of the Secular Games. The senatorial authority S C appears in the field, flanking the central composition. The scene is rendered in the narrative relief style characteristic of Flavian commemorative bronze coinage. |
