| Reverse description | A warrior, likely Ares or a heroized military figure, advancing to the right with right hand raised and left foot planted upon a ship's prow (rostrum), holding a large round shield in the left hand, evoking naval and martial prowess associated with Samos. The composition is bold and dynamic, typical of provincial civic bronzes from the Ionian islands during the Severan and post-Severan periods. The reverse legend in Greek is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. |
