Æ

Beschrijving voorzijde	Standing draped female figure, likely Aphrodite or a local deity, facing right in the field; the figure is rendered in a schematic style typical of late Hellenistic civic bronze coinage from Caria. The surface bears a green patina with areas of encrustation consistent with ancient burial. No discernible legend is visible on this side.

Aanvullende informatie	Aphrodisias in Caria was a relatively minor settlement until the late Republican period, when its sanctuary of Aphrodite brought it into Roman favor — Julius Caesar and Augustus both cultivated the city as a symbolic ally, citing the goddess's role as divine ancestor of the gens Iulia. Small bronze issues of this period circulated locally within that religious and civic economy, tied to the sanctuary's growing influence rather than any regional monetary network.
