| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple facade is depicted, within which a seated cult statue of Zeus is shown facing left, holding a patera in his extended right hand and a long sceptre in his left. An eagle stands at his feet to the left, a common attribute of the god. The temple pediment features a shield as decoration, and palm branches adorn the acroteria above the roofline, lending the composition a celebratory character. The Greek legend distributed around the field names the consular legate Novius Rufus and the issuing city of Nicopolis ad Istrum. |
