| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Asclepius (Aesculapius), depicted facing with head turned to the left, draped in a himation and leaning upon the serpent-entwined staff known as the caduceus of Asclepius. The deity is portrayed in the canonical provincial Roman manner, with the knotted serpent staff providing the primary iconographic identifier. The colonial legend COL A A PATR is disposed around the figure in the field. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy patination with traces of red and green oxidation. |
