| Reverse description | Roma personified standing facing left, helmeted and clad in military attire, holding a spear in her right hand and resting her left hand on a large round shield; a legionary standard rises prominently to her right in the field. The composition is framed by a beaded border, with the civic ethnic legend of Amastris distributed around the periphery. The rendering reflects the standard provincial iconography associating the city with Roman martial power. |
