Nerva assumed power in AD 96, continuing use of only one of Domitian’s coin reverse types; namely, that of Fortuna. Nerva changed the reverse legend from FORTVNA AVGVSTI to FORTVNA AVGVST. This example is intriguing, because it seems to have been struck from an actual reverse die for Domitian, changed to a die of Nerva by removing much of the final letter of the legend.

This denarius type is usually attributed to Colonia Patricia (modern Cordoba) in Spain. The obverse depicts the elaborate regalia (ornamenta triumphalia) of a successful general that is awarded to him on the occasion of his procession through the streets of Rome as triumphator. The toga picta was an elaborate dress based on the attire of the Etruscan kings and is shown being worn over the tunica palmata, a tunic decorated with representations of palm leaves. On either side are seen a legionary eagle, symbolic of the Roman army, and a triumphal wreath, or corona triumphalis. This was worn by the triumphator as he paraded through the streets of the capital in the elaborately adorned chariot, which is depicted on the reverse.
In 19 BC, Augustus returned to Rome after a three-year absence in Greece and Asia, and this reverse type probably relates to the celebration of the military successes of this period, especially Tiberius' activities in Armenia and the restoration of the standards that the Parthians had captured from Crassus in 53 BC.
