Reverse description Two right hands clasped in a dextrarum iunctio (handshake) motif, symbolising concord or alliance between Laodicea and Rome, centrally placed within the field. The type alludes to the city's privileged neocorate status granted by senatorial decree. A multi-word Greek legend in two lines encircles the design along the border, identifying the issuing civic authority and the legal basis of the emission. The coin's surface shows significant wear and encrustation, though the clasped-hands type and surrounding inscription remain largely legible.
