| Reverse description | Standing figure of Nike facing left, depicted in the act of crowning a military trophy with a wreath. The trophy, composed of stacked arms, is positioned to the right of the winged goddess, who extends her arm upward in the crowning gesture. The composition is rendered in a summary provincial style typical of late Republican Gallo-Greek bronzes. The Greek legend ΑΝΤΙΠ ΛΕΠΙ appears in the field, serving as an abbreviation for Antipolis and the Roman magistrate Lepidus. |

| Additional information |
Antipolis — modern Antibes — was a Greek colonial foundation on the Ligurian coast that found itself politically awkward in the chaotic months following Caesar's assassination in March 44 BC. This small bronze was struck during the precise window when Mark Antony and Lepidus were consolidating their alliance ahead of the Second Triumvirate's formal establishment in October 43 BC, and the abbreviated magistrate names in the legend likely reflect local officials navigating that rapidly shifting Roman authority over southern Gaul.
