| Reverse description | Asclepius, god of medicine, stands facing at center with head turned to left, holding his distinctive serpent-entwined staff (caduceus-form rod) in his left hand. He is confronted by Hygieia, goddess of health, who stands to the right, feeding a serpent from a patera held in her right hand. The two deities face one another in a symmetrical composition typical of provincial civic coinage, with the magistrate's titulature and civic ethnic distributed in the legend surrounding the figures. |
