| Obverse description | Laureate head of Domitian facing left, with aegis visible at the truncation of the bare neck, rendered in high relief with naturalistic portraiture characteristic of Flavian die engraving. The effigy occupies the central field, with the peripheral Latin legend disposed around the rim in well-spaced capital letters. The portrait conveys the imperial gravitas of Domitian as Caesar and son of the deified Vespasian, consistent with the dynastic propaganda of the early Flavian sestertius coinage. The legend reads CAES DIVI AVG VESP F DOMITIANVS COS VII, affirming his filial connection to the divine Vespasian and his seventh consulship. |
