| Beschrijving keerzijde | A military colonist ploughing left, guiding a yoke of two oxen, a type emblematic of Roman colonial foundation imagery and the ritual act of marking out a colony's sacred boundary (the sulcus primigenius). The colonial legend is arranged in three lines above and below the type: COL IVL FEL GEM in the upper field and LYSTRA beneath, identifying the issuing city as Colonia Iulia Felix Gemina Lustra. The design is bold and deeply struck, though somewhat crude in execution, consistent with the provincial mint style of Pisidian Lystra under Augustus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lystra was a military colony founded by Augustus around 6 BC in the rugged interior of Galatia — part of his broader strategy of anchoring Roman control across Anatolia through veteran settlements. The colony's full title, Colonia Iulia Felix Gemina Lustra, embedded in this coin's legend, records a twinned foundation or augmentation, the "Gemina" designation suggesting a pairing of two veteran cohorts settled there simultaneously. Provincial bronze of this type circulated almost exclusively within the colony itself, functioning as small change in a community that had no access to the nearest Roman mint at Syrian Antioch.
