| Reverse description | A Roman war galley depicted in left profile, shown with a prominent ram at the prow, multiple oars extending below the hull, and a stern ornament at the rear. The letter C appears in the upper field above the vessel, serving as an abbreviation for Colonia, while P appears in the lower field below the hull denoting Patrae. The legend ADVENTVS arcs across the upper field within a dotted border, commemorating the imperial adventus, or ceremonial arrival. The entire composition is set within a dotted inner border circle, typical of colonial provincial coinage of the Neronian period. |
