| Reverse description | Domitian standing in ceremonial robes facing right, presiding over the Ludi Saeculares (Secular Games), with a sacrificial attendant standing to his left. Three children, rendered in smaller scale, are depicted moving to the right while carrying branches, referencing the ritual procession of the lusus Troiae or sacrificial ceremony associated with the centennial celebration. The scene is framed by the senatorial legend S C (Senatus Consultum) in large letters in the lower field, flanking the figural group, affirming the authority of the Senate for this bronze emission. The reverse composition reflects the official commemoration of Domitian's revival of the Secular Games in AD 88. |
