| Reverse description | Two bunches of grapes flanking a central caduceus or thyrsus staff, with a grape cluster or floral rosette visible in the lower field. The partial legend ΔIONY appears along the lower margin, representing an abbreviation of the city ethnic ΔΙΟΝΥΣΟΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ. The overall composition is characteristic of civic bronze issues from Dionysopolis, a Greek colony on the western Black Sea coast, with the imagery referencing the city's divine patron Dionysus. |
