| Reverse description | A centaur strides to the right, depicted in the act of drawing an arrow from a bow, combining the martial iconography appropriate to a military frontier city. In the left background field stands an inscribed vexillum (military standard), bearing the legionary inscription ΛΕΓ, a direct reference to the Roman garrison at Singara. The composition is vigorous and fills the flan, reflecting the city's pride in its military identity as a key Mesopotamian frontier post. The surrounding and vexillum legends identify the issuing colony and its legionary association. |
