| Reverse description | Agonistic prize table depicted in the field, upon which rests a large agonistic crown flanked by two confronted portrait busts, identified as Caracalla and Geta facing one another — a composition symbolizing the Philadelphian (brotherly) theme of the games. Beneath the table, a prize urn is shown with two palm fronds arranged in saltire. The composition celebrates the Severan games (ϹΕΟΥΗΡΕΙΑ ΦΙΛΑΔΕΛΦΕΙΑ ΜΕΓΑΛΑ) instituted at Nicaea, with the reverse legend distributed around the field. |
