| Reverse description | Pegasus, the winged horse, galloping to the right in a dynamic pose with wings raised, rendered in a style characteristic of Emporitan civic coinage influenced by earlier Greek prototypes. A wreath appears above the figure, serving as an honorific device. The ethnic legend EMPOR is inscribed below or around the type, identifying the issuing city of Emporiae. The overall design reflects the Hellenistic heritage of the colony while incorporating Roman provincial conventions of the late 1st century BC. |
