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.

Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus consecrated in 509 BC burnt down in 83 BC and new temple was consecrated 69 BC. It's not clear if this is actual shape of the old temple. Reverse should perhaps commemorate ludi Romani in Circus Maximus.
