| Reverse description | A warrior — most likely Ares or a heroized military figure — strides vigorously to the right, with right arm raised in a gesture of aggression or triumph and left foot planted upon a ship's prow (rostrum), symbolising naval dominance. The figure carries a round shield on the left arm, conveying martial prowess. The composition is rendered in the bold, somewhat provincial style typical of Samian civic coinage under the Roman Empire. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field. |
