| Reverse description | The emperor Commodus depicted as an equestrian victor, galloping to the right on horseback over a prostrate lion or vanquished foe beneath the horse's hooves, his right arm raised and brandishing a spear in a dynamic martial pose. The scene conveys imperial virtus and triumph, a common propagandistic motif on Lydian provincial bronzes of the Antonine period. The Greek magistrates' legend and civic ethnic are distributed around the field within a beaded border, naming the local strategos responsible for the issue. |
