Descrizione del rovescio	An Arab chieftain or deity seated in profile to the right atop a walking dromedary camel, depicted with characteristic humped back and long neck. The rider is shown holding a bow in one hand and a spear in the other, conveying martial authority. A Aramaic letter appears in the field. The composition reflects the strong indigenous Arabian iconographic tradition blended with Achaemenid Persian artistic influence prevalent in Philisto-Arabian coinage of this era.
