| Reverse description | Victory, winged and draped, stands facing right with her left foot raised and resting upon a captured Germanic helmet, leaning forward to inscribe the legend DE GER upon a large oval shield affixed to a trophy. At the base of the trophy, the captive personification of Germania sits in dejection to the right, her garments disordered, emblematic of Roman conquest. The bold senatorial legend S C appears in the field, flanking the central composition. The reverse composition celebrates Domitian's Dacian and Germanic campaigns of AD 83–85 with characteristic Flavian imperial iconography. |
