| Reverse description | A Capricorn, the legendary sea-goat and zodiacal emblem closely associated with the Julio-Claudian dynasty and the colony of Parium, strides to the right across the field, clutching a globe between its fore-hooves — a symbol of Roman imperial dominion over the world. A cornucopia rises above the creature, signifying abundance and the prosperity of the colony. The abbreviated colonial legend C G I H P (Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana) is distributed in the field. The design is a direct allusion to Parium's proud status as a Roman colony and its Augustan heritage. |
