Reverse description A Roman war galley (trireme) depicted sailing to the left, its oars extended and hull rendered in profile with a clearly articulated ram at the prow. The letter C appears prominently in the field above the vessel and the letter P below, serving as abbreviations for the colonial title Colonia Patrae. A partial circular Latin legend surrounds the design, referencing the adventus (imperial arrival). The composition commemorates Nero's visit to the colony and reflects the civic pride of Roman Patras in its colonial coinage.
