| Reverse description | The emperor Septimius Severus is depicted on horseback advancing to the right, his right arm raised and levelling a spear downward toward a barbarian enemy who kneels at lower right, head turned back to the left in a gesture of submission or supplication. The composition is a classic Roman imperial triumphal type, emphasising the emperor's military dominance and virtus. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the scene, naming the local civic strategos responsible for the issue. |
