| Opschrift voorzijde | 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.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Minerva depicted standing left in a martial pose, helmeted and fully draped in classical style. She holds a vertical spear in her right hand, a recurring reverse type closely associated with Domitian's particular veneration of Minerva as his divine protectress. The large senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently displayed in the field to either side of the figure, as was customary on Roman aes coinage of the Imperial period. The surrounding legend records Domitian's tribunician powers and consular offices. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian's eighth consulship fell in 82 AD, the year following his father Vespasian's death and brother Titus's brief reign — he had waited a long time. His devotion to Minerva was well-documented and personal rather than political, reportedly consulting her image in dreams for omens. The Flavian mint's sestertius production in these early regnal years was substantial, and RIC II.1 106 sits within a densely populated series of types that later scholars have worked to reorganize, hence the revised second edition numbering.
