| Reverse description | The emperor, in military attire, is depicted mounted on a prancing horse moving to the right, his right arm raised and poised to hurl a spear at an unseen enemy below. The equestrian figure is rendered in the dynamic provincial manner typical of Mysian civic bronzes of the Severan period. The reverse legend is inscribed in the field around the type, identifying the issuing city and its Dardanian epithet. |
