| Reverse description | The personification of Arabia stands facing, head turned slightly to the left, wearing an eastern headdress and long robes draped over the body. In her extended right hand she holds a branch, while her left hand grasps a long sceptre or spear resting against her shoulder. At her feet to the left stands a dromedary camel, the quintessential symbol of the Arabian province newly brought under Roman dominion. The composition is set within a plain field, enclosed by a beaded border, with the legend COS V P P S P Q R OPTIMO PRINC distributed around the circumference in bold, well-spaced Latin capitals. |
