| Reverse description | Two cult statues standing on individual inscribed bases: at left, a statue of Augustus depicted in military dress, and at right, a statue of Divus Julius Caesar. The scene reflects the imperial cult veneration practiced at the Roman colony of Philippi, with the base legend identifying the figures. The composition is rendered in a flat, provincial style characteristic of Macedonian colonial bronzes of the first century AD. |
