| Reverse description | Barbarian imitation of a Roman imperial reverse type, depicting a horseman or equestrian figure in motion, facing right, rendered in a highly schematic and debased style. The central motif is enclosed within a beaded border, a decorative convention borrowed from Roman prototypes. The surrounding pseudo-legend consists of garbled, imitation Latin letters arranged around the border, reflecting non-literate copying of a Roman original. The overall execution is crude and flat, consistent with a Germanic workshop unfamiliar with classical die-engraving techniques. The reverse composition suggests the model was likely a third-century Roman aureus featuring a military or imperial equestrian type. |
