| Reverse description | The serpent deity Glykon, depicted as a coiling snake with a human face, moving to the right. The body of the serpent forms multiple loops in a characteristic undulating posture, its anthropomorphic head rendered with visible facial features as befitting this oracular cult figure associated with Alexander of Abonoteichus. The magistrate's inscription is distributed across the field in two or more lines. The surface shows typical provincial bronze patination with moderate wear. |
