| Reverse description | Antinous depicted nude, standing facing with head turned to the left, holding by the bridle his horse, which stands to the left behind him. The composition conveys a heroic equestrian theme consistent with the divine honors accorded to Antinous following his deification. The encircling Greek legend names the issuing city. The figure's nudity follows Hellenistic conventions for the representation of heroized or divine personages. |
