Ok, so for some reason this ruler, mint, denomination or collection does not have a description yet - oops!
There are two possible explanations for this:
No description has been written yet
The property is incorrectly named
If the former, patience is key - this site covers thousands of entities, and all must have a manually created description written.
If the latter, try renaming the property - 'Domitian as Caesar' has no description, but 'Domitian' does.

"It is possible that the monogram found in the exergue of the reverse on this coin may resolve as Tatius. On coins of both L. Titurius Sabinus and T. Vettius Sabinus the same monogram occurs in conjunction with the head of the Sabine king, Tatius, but the surname TA or AT is otherwise unknown for the Postumia gens. It is possible that the Postumii, undoubtedly one of Rome's most ancient families, claimed descent from the Sabine king."
