| Reverse description | Commemorative naval scene depicting the Battle of Actium (31 BC): two warships (galleys) with oars visible at the hull are shown in close engagement, their decks crowded with armed soldiers engaged in combat. The composition emphasizes the clash of the two vessels, with figures rendered in low relief raising weapons against one another. The Greek legend ΙΕΡΑϹ ΝΙΚΟΠΟΛΕωϹ ('of holy Nicopolis') runs around the periphery, referencing the sacred status of the city founded by Augustus to commemorate his victory at Actium. |
