Reverse description The goddess Diana is depicted striding briskly to the right in a dynamic, full-length figure. She holds a bow in her extended left hand while her right hand reaches back over her shoulder to draw an arrow from a quiver. Her short hunting garment (chiton) is rendered in flowing folds, and her posture conveys energetic forward movement characteristic of the huntress iconography. The Latin legend is distributed across the field, identifying the imperial acclamation and the Sicilian reference, with the design bordered by a beaded inner circle.
