| Reverse description | The reverse displays a tetrastyle or hexastyle temple facade rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of Phoenician civic bronzes of the Severan period. The structure features multiple tall columns supporting a pediment surmounted by a small figure or acroterion, all set upon a raised podium or stepped base. This architectural type is associated with the Temple of the Phoenician Koinon at Tyre. A Greek legend is partially visible in the field and along the periphery, referencing the common assembly of the Phoenician cities. The overall composition is confined within the borders of a heavily patinated, irregularly shaped flan. |
