| Beschrijving keerzijde | A lighted double-flamed torch or cista mystica torch set upright at center, flanked on either side by the divided ethnic legend ΛAOΔI to the left and KEΩN to the right, all rendered in bold Greek characters. The torch, a symbol associated with the mysteries and civic cults of the region, is depicted with a columnar shaft and a flaring flame at top. The overall composition is characteristic of civic bronze coinage issued by Laodikeia in Phrygia during the late Hellenistic period. The reverse field is plain beyond the central device and flanking inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Laodikeia ad Lycum was founded by the Seleucid king Antiochus II around 261–253 BC and named for his wife Laodike — the same Laodike he later divorced in favor of Berenice of Egypt, triggering the Laodicean War. By the time these bronzes were struck, the city had passed to Roman control following the settlement of Apameia in 188 BC, operating as a nominally autonomous civic mint within the province of Asia. The date range spans the city's most commercially prosperous phase, when it was already developing the wool-processing trade that would make it wealthy under the early Empire.
