| Reverse description | A founder depicted as a togatus priest ploughing to the right, guiding a yoke of two oxen in the act of marking the ritual boundary (pomerium) of the colonial city. This type is the canonical colonial foundation type associated with Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana, referencing the city's Roman colonial charter. The abbreviated colonial title appears in the field or along the periphery as the reverse legend. |
