| Reverse description | Asclepius standing facing, head turned to left, clad in a himation draped over the lower body and left shoulder, his right hand resting upon a tall serpent-entwined staff (kerykeion-style caduceus of the healing god); to the right in the field, a wreath serving as a secondary civic symbol. The composition is rendered in the flat, summary style typical of provincial bronze issues of the Julio-Claudian era. |
