| Reverse description | The reverse features the Latin monogram S P Q R (Senatus Populusque Romanus) inscribed within a raised central circular shield or clipeus, itself enclosed by a plain raised border. The Greek civic legend of Philomelium surrounds this central device, running continuously around the circumference of the coin within a beaded or dotted outer border. This unusual combination of Latin abbreviation within a Greek civic legend is a hallmark of Philomelium's coinage under the magistrate Paulus, son of Hadrianus, reflecting the city's privileged relationship with Rome. |
