| Reverse description | Central device of a rose with stem and a bud to the left, the emblematic symbol of Rhodes, set within a shallow square incuse (plinth). The magistrate's name ΦΙΛΟΣΤΡΑΤ is inscribed above or around the rose, with the ethnic letters Ρ and Ο flanking the rose on either side. A bird (likely an eagle or similar) appears below and to the right as a secondary control symbol. The composition is characteristic of the Rhodian plintophoric drachm series, combining civic iconography with the magistrate's identifying legend. |
