| Reverse description | Jupiter Ammon, a syncretic deity combining aspects of the Roman Jupiter and the Egyptian Ammon, depicted standing left in military dress, wearing the characteristic headdress composed of ram's horns and a solar disk. He holds ears of grain in his right hand and a sceptre surmounted by a trophy in his left. At his feet to the left, a ram stands left with its head turned to the right, serving as the sacred attribute of the god. The colonial legend COL METPOPOL BOSTRON surrounds the reverse field, proclaiming Bostra's status as a colony and metropolis. |
