| Reverse description | Three standing figures occupy the central field: Neptune, nude and helmeted, stands at center holding a trident, flanked by two youths — Anapias to the left and Amphinomus to the right — each carrying an elderly parent upon their shoulders in a scene evoking filial piety. The figures stand upon a ground line, with the composition conveying dynamic movement. The extensive surrounding legend IMP CAES TRAIAN AVG GER DAC P P REST PRAEF CLAS ET ORAE MARIT EX S C encircles the design within a beaded border, while additional abbreviated text appears in the exergue. This reverse type references Pompey's command of the seas and evokes mythological Sicilian piety. |
