| Reverse description | A tripod with a serpent coiled around its shaft or legs occupies the central field, a motif strongly associated with Apollo and his oracular cult, reflecting the Hellenistic religious traditions of western Sicily. The design is executed in a bold, schematic manner characteristic of local Sicilian civic bronzes of the early Imperial period. The abbreviated Greek legend AVGV appears in the field, acclaiming Augustus and aligning the civic coinage with the Imperial authority. The flan is irregular with a somewhat worn and porous surface, consistent with circulation use. |
