| Reverse description | Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, stands in three-quarter view to the right, draped in a long chiton, positioned beside a tall altar or column base. To her left stands a temple facade with two prominent columns and an architrave, suggesting her sacred precinct or the Capitolium. The goddess holds attributes consistent with her martial aspect, likely a spear or thunderbolt, with a shield or owl possibly present near the base. The large senatorial authority marks S and C (Senatus Consulto) flank the central composition in the left and right fields respectively. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, executed in the characteristic broad, flat style of Flavian bronze coinage. |
