| Reverse description | The forepart of a war galley advancing to the right, rendered with oars and a prominent ram, occupying the central field of the reverse. The abbreviated legend BER appears above the galley prow, identifying the issuing city of Berytus. The galley motif is a longstanding civic emblem of Berytus, referencing its maritime importance as a Phoenician coastal city and Roman colony. The style is bold and schematic, consistent with small provincial bronze production of the early second century AD. |
