| Reverse description | A standing figure, likely a deity or imperial personification, depicted frontally with arms extended outward, rendered in a crude barbarous imitative style. The figure's details are poorly defined, consistent with the degenerate workmanship typical of Germanic copies of Roman bronzes. A garbled pseudo-legend surrounds the figure in the field, reading SS - SSO, representing a debased imitation of an original Roman reverse inscription. The overall composition reflects a copyist's approximation rather than a faithful reproduction of the Roman prototype. |
