Reverse description A Roman soldier, shown in military attire and advancing to the right, thrusts a spear downward into a fallen horseman who lies beneath his horse, a design known as the 'Fel Temp Reparatio' type. The scene is rendered in a debased, barbarous style with simplified and abstracted figural forms. A partially legible and garbled legend surrounds the central design, imitating the standard imperial reverse inscription. The overall composition closely follows the Roman prototype but with the irregular execution characteristic of Germanic imitative bronzes.
