| Reverse description | A distyle temple depicted in frontal elevation, its two columns framing the interior, within which stands Asclepius facing front with his head turned to the right, holding his characteristic serpent-entwined staff (caduceus/rod) in his right hand. The composition reflects the strong civic religious iconography of Nicopolis, where the cult of Asclepius was prominent. The Greek legend ΙΕΡΑϹ ΝΕΙΚΟΠΟΛΕΩϹ, meaning 'of sacred Nicopolis,' is distributed around the reverse field. |
