| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the paired pilei (conical caps) of the Dioscuri — Castor and Pollux — each surmounted by a star, a classic emblem of Spartan religious iconography reflecting the city's deep veneration of its divine twin patrons. The caps are rendered side by side on a low base or ground line. The magistrate's name and ethnic inscription appear in the fields and exergue, divided around the central device. |
