| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Roma stands facing left in full military attire, helmeted and wearing a short tunic with cuirass, rendered in a commanding frontal stance. In her extended right hand she holds a small winged Victory figurine, while her left hand rests upon a tall vertical spear. The senatorial authorization marks S and C (Senatus Consultum) are placed symmetrically in the field to either side of the figure, and the legend ROMA appears vertically along the left field. The composition is characteristic of the Flavian dynastic sestertius type, emphasizing Rome's martial authority. |

This sestertius dates to Domitian's time as Caesar under his father Vespasian, struck before his own accession in 81 AD. The ROMA S C reverse type belongs to a broader Flavian program of restoring confidence in Rome's institutional imagery following the civil wars of 69 AD — four emperors in a single year had left the coinage, like everything else, ideologically unsettled. Vespasian's mint output leaned heavily on personifications of Roman virtues precisely because the dynasty had none of the ancestral legitimacy the Julio-Claudians could claim.
RIC II.1 653 is a Caesarian issue, meaning Domitian held no independent authority at striking — the coins were produced in his name as heir apparent, not as ruler.
