The sculpture on the medal is a relief of a structure with wrestling or athletic scenes occurring within. The medal is brown and metallic, possibly bronze. Above the arena, there is a raised relief of a head with elaborate hair, facing left. Latin inscriptions include "IULIANVS F ANTOCIEG" around the edge and "LVCTV PUBLICVS" inside the structure. The carving appears intricate, possibly commemorating a public event involving wrestling or athletics.
