| Reverse description | Lucius Verus, bearded and clad in military dress, depicted on horseback galloping to the right, his right arm raised and brandishing a spear in a dynamic martial composition. Beneath the horse, a defeated barbarian foe lies prostrate upon a shield, with a second shield visible to the lower left beneath the horse's hooves. The scene evokes the Roman imperial iconography of Victoria and adventus, celebrating Roman military supremacy. The reverse legend in Greek, disposed around the field, reads ΡΩΜΑΙΩΝ ΝΙΚΗΝ ΝΙΚΑΙΕΙϹ, meaning 'the Nicaeans [dedicate] the victory of the Romans.' |
