| Reverse description | The emperor, in military attire, is depicted on horseback galloping vigorously to the right, his right arm raised and wielding a spear in an aggressive forward thrust. Beneath the horse's hooves lies a prostrate barbarian enemy, a compositional motif emblematic of Roman imperial victory and dominance over foreign adversaries. The scene is rendered in the dynamic style typical of provincial civic bronze coinage of the Severan era. The reverse legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ, denoting the civic authority of Samos, is placed in the field. |
