| Reverse description | The emperor, clad in a chlamys, is depicted mounted on a prancing horse moving to the left, his right arm raised and poised to thrust a spear downward at a fallen enemy figure prostrate to the right beneath the horse. The martial composition evokes the imperial adventus and virtus iconography common in provincial coinage of the Severan era. The reverse legend ΑΦΡΟΔΕΙϹΙΕΩΝ, meaning 'of the Aphrodisians', is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city of Aphrodisias in Caria. |
