| Reverse description | A military horseman galloping vigorously to the right, wearing a helmet and military cloak (paludamentum), with a long spear (hasta) levelled forward in the attack position. The horse is depicted in full gallop with legs extended, conveying dynamic martial energy characteristic of Iberian provincial coinage. The legend around the periphery names the two local duoviri quinquennales, G. Tarracina and P. Priscus, and identifies the issuing city as Osca, reading G TARRACINA P PRISCO V V OSCA II VIR. The type echoes the equestrian iconography long celebrated in the coinage of the Iberian Peninsula. |
