| Reverse description | A tripod lebes depicted in profile at centre, with decorative fillets suspended from each handle on either side. A palm branch appears above the tripod, symbolic of athletic victory, while a race torch is positioned to the right — both devices alluding to the Pythian Games celebrated at Philippi. The ethnic legend ΦΙΛΙΠΠΩΝ (of the Philippians) is inscribed in Greek characters, identifying the issuing civic authority. |
