| Reverse description | A tripod-lebes with volute-decorated legs terminating in lion's paw feet occupies the center of the reverse, its bowl rendered with careful detail. Above the tripod, two upright torches flank a central palmette or floral element. To the right, a thyrsus or staff is depicted alongside a hanging bunch of grapes, evoking Dionysiac symbolism. The Greek legend ΦΙΛΙΠΠΩΝ is inscribed vertically along the left field, identifying the issuing city of Philippi. The overall composition is bold and well-centered, consistent with the high-quality gold issues of the Thracian colony. |
