| Reverse description | Jupiter seated left upon a throne, his body draped, extending his right hand to present a small figure of Victory, while his left hand rests upon a long vertical sceptre. The composition conveys imperial divine authority, with Jupiter's commanding posture and attributes emblematic of Flavian dynastic ideology. The senatorial authority legend S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently placed in the field flanking the seated deity, authorizing the bronze issue. The reverse legend IOVI VICTORI arcs above the central type, invoking Jupiter as the god of victory in a period of Domitian's active military campaigns on the German frontier. |
