| Reverse description | A monumental fountain depicted in frontal view, with water cascading from lion-head spouts into a basin, illustrating the civic water infrastructure of the Roman colony of Patras. Atop the fountain structure stands a figure identified tentatively as Heracles, serving as a tutelary or dedicatory emblem of the colony. The reverse legend is distributed around the design field identifying the issuing authority. The composition reflects the local pride of the Augustan colony and its public architectural monuments. |
