Æ

正面描述	Youthful head of Dionysos facing right, hair rendered in loose flowing curls with a prominent ivy wreath adorning the crown; the leaves and berries of the wreath are rendered in fine relief, characteristic of Hellenistic engraving from the Thracian mint of Maroneia. The deity's features are idealized in the Greek tradition, with a rounded face, softly modeled cheeks, and a serene expression. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The overall style reflects the accomplished die-cutting of the late autonomous bronze coinage of Maroneia.

附加信息	Maroneia, the Thracian coastal city whose wine was famous enough to appear in Homer, struck bronze coinage through a period that spans Rome's obliteration of Macedon at Pydna in 168 BC through the final consolidation of Thrace as a Roman client. The city retained nominal autonomy longer than most of its neighbors, which partly explains the extended run of this issue. Schönert-Geiss's exhaustive die study of Maroneian coinage identified meaningful variation across this type range — collectors working the 1532–1541 sequence should treat group 3.2 as a discrete subset with its own die linkages.
