| Reverse description | Central field depicts a laurel branch flanked by a bow and quiver, arranged vertically and rendered with fine detail typical of Antiochene civic bronzes. The laurel branch, shown with small leaflets branching from a central stem, is positioned to the left, while the strung bow and quiver appear to the right, symbols evoking both civic and military themes. The Greek legend encircles the design along the coin's periphery, partially legible on this irregular flan. The overall composition is neatly balanced within the small module, characteristic of the Æ13 denomination struck under Trajan at Antioch. |
