| Reverse description | Standing figure, likely a founder or military deity, depicted in the act of plowing with a yoke of oxen, a common colonial foundation type symbolizing the establishment of the Roman colony. A legionary standard is visible to the left, reinforcing the military colonial character of the issue. The abbreviated colonial legend CO AE CA is distributed across the field, identifying the mint as Colonia Aelia Capitolina, the Roman name for Jerusalem refounded by Hadrian. The composition is typical of provincial bronze coinage struck for local circulation in the Levant during the Antonine period. The relief is moderately worn but the principal devices remain identifiable. |
