Reverse description Agonistic table type depicting two prize crowns, each adorned with a single palm branch, resting upon a draped table; between the crowns, two prize money bags (purses) are prominently displayed, symbolising the monetary awards of the games. Beneath the table, a hydria (jug) is shown, a standard attribute associated with sacred Pythian festival contests. The composition commemorates two prestigious local festival games — the Augusteia and the Pythia — held at Thyateira under the civic authority of the strategos Tiberius Claudius Stratonikianos. The reverse legend, distributed around and below the central device, records the magistrate's name and the titles of the festivals in full.
