Reverse description An eagle stands facing right with head turned to the left, wings displayed, holding a wreath in its beak. The bird is rendered in the bold, somewhat schematic provincial style characteristic of Nicopolis ad Istrum civic bronzes. The eagle's talons rest on a ground line, and the circular Greek legend naming the consular legate and the city runs around the periphery of the field.
