| Reverse description | Dionysos depicted standing facing left in full figure, his weight distributed in a gentle contrapposto stance; in his right hand he holds a large bunch of grapes, and in his left hand he grasps narthex stalks (thyrsus reeds), emblematic attributes of the god's cult. A monogram appears to the left of the figure in the field, serving as a magistrate's or mint official's mark. The ethnic legend MAPΩNITΩN is inscribed in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Maroneia in Thrace. The composition reflects the strong Dionysiac religious tradition for which Maroneia was celebrated in antiquity. |
