The Quadrans - Domitian (S C; Minerva) (81-82) coin features an image of the Roman goddess Minerva on the reverse side, which was a common practice during the reign of Emperor Domitian. Minerva was the goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts, and was often depicted with an owl, which symbolized wisdom and knowledge. The inclusion of Minerva on the coin may have been a way to emphasize the importance of wisdom and knowledge during Domitian's reign.
