Reverse description Asclepius, the god of medicine, stands facing in the centre of the field, his head turned to the left, depicted semi-draped with a himation covering his lower body. He holds his distinctive serpent-entwined staff (kerykeion/omphalos staff) in his left hand, with a large coiled serpent visible at the base. The figure is rendered in a classical style consistent with the cult image venerated at Pergamum, a city renowned for its Asclepieion sanctuary. The encircling Greek legend, referencing the neokoros status of Pergamum and the strategos Claudius Pardala, runs around the periphery within a beaded border.
