| Reverse description | Two standing figures flank a tall standard or staff, rendered in a simplified, schematic manner derived from official late Roman reverse types such as GLORIA ROMANORVM or CONCORDIA AVGGG. The figures are poorly articulated, with rudimentary limb definition and minimal detail, reflecting the degenerate die-work typical of barbarous Germanic imitations. A boat or ship-like motif appears beneath the figures, likely a misunderstood or degenerate rendering of an exergual element or groundline from the prototype. The surrounding legend is a debased imitation of Latin text, with malformed and partially illegible letterforms. The composition as a whole demonstrates the progressive degradation of Roman iconographic models as transmitted through successive unofficial copying during the Migration Period. |
