| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES DIVI VESP F DOMITIAN AVG P M (Translation: Imperator Caesar, Divi Vespasiani Filius, Domitianus, Augustus, Pontifex Maximus. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, son of the divine Vespasianus, Domitian, emperor (Augustus), high priest.) |
| Reverse description | Standing figure of Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, depicted in full length facing right in the field. The goddess is shown helmeted and draped in a flowing chiton and aegis, raising her right arm as if in a martial gesture, with a spear held in her left hand and a small owl visible at her feet — her characteristic divine attribute. The large senatorial mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently placed flanking the figure in the left and right fields respectively. The reverse legend TR P COS VII DES VIII P P encircles the design within a beaded border, referencing Domitian's tribunician and consular titles. The composition reflects the strong Flavian association with Minerva, who served as Domitian's personal patron deity. |
