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.
