| Reverse description | Neptune, the patron deity of the colony of Patras, depicted standing to the left in a commanding frontal pose with head turned left. The god holds a long trident upright in his left hand, while his right foot rests upon a rocky elevation; a dolphin, emblematic of his maritime dominion, is shown resting upon the same rock. The composition reflects the standard iconographic type used to honor Neptune as a protective deity of the Augustan colony, with the legend distributed around the field. |
