| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a figure, likely a standing or seated deity or civic personification, rendered in the coarse provincial style characteristic of Hadrumetum's civic bronze coinage. The design is executed in low, worn relief on an irregular flan, with details partially obscured by patination and surface wear. The Latin legend P QVINTLI VARVS is distributed around the field, naming the duovir or magistrate Publius Quinctilius Varus under whose authority this issue was struck. This reverse type is consistent with North African provincial bronzes of the Augustan period, where the name of the responsible magistrate was prominently featured. The overall composition reflects the local engraving tradition rather than the refined style of the central Roman mint. |
