| Reverse description | Tetrastyle temple facade depicted in frontal view, with a pediment, cornice, and visible columns, representing the Temple of Neptune (Poseidon) at Paestum, rendered schematically in the manner common to Roman colonial bronzes of southern Italy. The abbreviation P S S E — standing for Paesti Sacrum Senatus Ex or a related formulaic magistrate legend — is distributed in the field, with letters flanking the temple structure. A beaded border encloses the design, and the overall execution is compact and stylised, consistent with quadrans-denomination bronzes of the colony. |
