| Obverse description | Laureate head of Domitian facing right, with his characteristic curly hair rendered in fine detail. The effigy is depicted with a draped and cuirassed bust, conveying imperial authority. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP DOMITIAN CAES DIVI VESP F AVG P M TR P P P COS VII, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait reflects the Flavian artistic style, with a strong, naturalistic rendering of the emperor's facial features. The field shows the characteristic patina of a circulated bronze sestertius of the early Flavian period. |
