| Reverse description | A togate figure stands to the left in the right field, holding a long measuring rod (groma or hasta) in one hand and a vexillum standard in the other, presiding over a ceremonial foundation scene. To the left, two oxen are depicted moving leftward, guided in the act of ploughing the sulcus primigenius, the ritual first furrow marking the foundation of a Roman colony. The type directly alludes to the colonial foundation of Patras under Augustan auspices. The legend COL A A PATRENS is divided across the upper and lower fields. |
