| Reverse description | Frontal view of a tetrastyle temple with four columns and an arcuated (arched) lintel, rendered in the provincial architectural style characteristic of Ionian civic bronzes. Within the intercolumniation stands a military figure facing front, head turned to the left, clad in helmet and military dress, resting on a spear held in one hand with a large shield positioned behind. The reverse legend, distributed around the temple type, records the name and title of the local strategos under whose authority the issue was struck. |
