| Reverse description | An eagle standing to left with wings spread, head turned to right, holding a wreath in its beak — a common symbol of imperial authority and divine sanction on provincial bronze coinage. The ethnic legend of the issuing community appears in the field surrounding the type, identifying the coin as a civic issue of the Phoenicians of Epirus. The flan is irregular, consistent with hand-struck provincial production of the Trajanic period. |
