| Reverse description | Marcus Aurelius as Caesar depicted as an equestrian figure on horseback, moving to the left, with his right arm raised in a gesture of salutation or address. The horse is shown in a prancing or walking pose, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of Ephesian civic bronzes of the Antonine period. The surrounding Greek legend ΑΥΡΗΛΙΟϹ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ encircles the field, with ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ partially visible in the lower exergual area, identifying the issuing city of Ephesus. The composition emphasizes the dynastic prestige of Marcus Aurelius in his role as designated heir. |
