| Reverse description | A crocodile facing right, chained to an erect palm-shoot bearing short, dense fronds with the tip curving left, symbolizing the Roman conquest of Egypt. Above the scene to the left, a laurel wreath with long flowing ties is depicted in the field. The composition is a celebrated emblem of Nemausus (modern Nîmes), a colony founded for veterans of the Actian and Egyptian campaigns, and the crocodile motif served as the city's distinctive colonial badge. The colonial legend appears in the exergual area. |
