Reverse description Dynamic equestrian scene depicting Septimius Severus mounted on a prancing horse moving to the right, the emperor brandishing a spear downward at two fallen enemies prostrate on the ground beneath the horse's hooves. Flanking the central group, Ares stands facing, armed with sword and shield, while Athena stands to the left holding a shield, lending a divine sanction to the imperial martial imagery. The composition reflects the provincial Greek artistic tradition of honouring the emperor through allegorical military triumph. The magistrate's name and civic ethnic appear in the field legend.
