| Reverse description | Youthful male bust facing right, wearing a wreath and cuirass, likely representing the local deity or a personification associated with the city of Abila. The figure is rendered in a provincial style typical of Syrian civic coinage of the Severan period. The Greek legend surrounding the bust incorporates the city ethnic and the Seleucid era date. The flan is irregular, as is characteristic of locally struck provincial bronzes of this region. |
