| Reverse description | Two male figures standing upright and facing one another across a lighted altar; each figure holds a patera extended over the altar flame in the right hand and a long spear or sceptre in the left hand. The composition is symmetrically arranged in the field, reflecting a civic sacrificial or concordia iconography typical of provincial bronzes from Hierapolis in Phrygia. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is inscribed in the exergue or around the reverse field. |
