| Reverse description | The emperor, depicted as a military commander, gallops on horseback to the right, his right arm raised and brandishing a spear (partially visible) over a fallen Persian foe trampled beneath the horse. The composition conveys imperial triumph over the Parthian enemy, referencing Verus's Parthian War campaigns. The reverse legend appears in the field, identifying the issuing colony. The rendering, though worn, preserves the essential narrative of Roman military victory characteristic of Corinthian provincial bronzes of this period. |
