| Reverse description | Septimius Severus depicted in full military attire, wearing a cuirass and paludamentum billowing dramatically behind him, mounted on a horse prancing to the right. The emperor raises his right hand brandishing a spear directed at a fallen or advancing enemy figure at lower right, who turns his head to the left. The dynamic equestrian composition conveys imperial martial prowess, a common motif on provincial bronzes of the Severan period. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the field, proclaiming the twice-neocorate status of Ephesus. |
