| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ Λ ΑΥΡ ΟΥΗΡΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Lucius Aurelius Verus) |
| Reverse description | A hexastyle temple with a rounded pediment depicted in frontal elevation, enclosing a cult statue of turreted Tyche-Astarte standing to the left upon a low base, holding a human bust in one hand and a long sceptre in the other, her foot resting upon a swimming river-god below. The architectural rendering includes columns with bases and capitals in the Greco-Roman provincial style. The reverse legend surrounding the temple records the civic titles and local era date of the city of Capitolias. The composition reflects the religious and civic pride of the Decapolis cities under Roman rule. |
