| Reverse description | The reverse features the Latin abbreviation S P Q R (Senatus Populusque Romanus) inscribed boldly within a plain raised circular border at the centre of the die, referencing the authority of the Roman Senate and People. The civic Greek legend of Philomelium runs around the outer field, separated from the central motif by the raised circle. This unusual reverse type, combining a Latin honorific device with a Greek civic inscription, reflects the special relationship between the city of Philomelium and Rome. |
