| Obverse description | Laureate head of Domitian facing right, with aegis visible at the truncation of the neck, rendered in high relief with finely engraved hair. The bust is draped, presenting the emperor in his imperial aspect. The encircling legend reads IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XIII CENS PER P P, arranged around the effigy within a border of dots. The portraiture reflects the Flavian dynastic style, with a strong, idealized facial profile characteristic of late first-century Roman imperial coinage. |
