| Reverse description | Septimius Severus depicted on horseback galloping to the right, the rider raising a spear in his right hand and poised to strike a fallen or crouching enemy figure beneath the horse's hooves, rendered in a dynamic martial composition typical of honorific provincial bronzes. The exergue is plain. The Greek ethnic legend ΑΦΡΟΔΕΙϹΙΕΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Aphrodisias in Caria. The reverse iconography draws on the established equestrian victory type used on Severan-era provincial coinage to evoke imperial military prestige. |
