| Reverse description | Athena advancing right in a dynamic martial pose, her raised right hand brandishing a spear and her left arm bearing a large round shield; to the right stands an owl facing right, the traditional Athenian civic emblem, while to the left an olive tree is shown entwined by a serpent, symbolising the sacred olive of the Acropolis. The encircling Greek legend ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ (of the Athenians) fills the field around the figural composition. The overall design draws consciously on classical Athenian iconographic tradition, reaffirming civic identity under Roman provincial rule during the sole reign of Gallienus. |
