| Reverse description | Central field bears a four-line inscription D N ATHAL / ARICVS / REX arranged within a beaded or dotted border, identifying the Ostrogothic king Athalaric as dominus noster and rex. The inscription is enclosed within a wreath border, a design motif commonly employed on Ostrogothic silver fractions struck at Ravenna. The lettering is executed in clear Roman capitals. The overall composition is simple and epigraphic in character, without figural imagery, following the convention of Ostrogothic fractional silver coinage. The wreath is tied at the base. |
