| Reverse description | Hygieia, goddess of health, stands to the right feeding a serpent coiled around her arm from a patera held in her extended hand, facing Asclepius who stands to the left leaning on his serpent-entwined staff. Between the two deities stands the diminutive figure of Telesphorus, the chthonic healer deity associated with convalescence, depicted in his characteristic hooded cloak. The composition emphasizes the healing cult associations of the city of Bruzus. The ethnic legend ΒΡΟΥΖΗΝΩΝ appears in the field. |
