| Beschrijving keerzijde | Dionysus, the god of wine and festivity, standing in contrapposto to the left, holding a long thyrsus — the fennel-staff tipped with a pine cone symbolic of the deity — in his raised hand, and a cantharus (wine cup) in his lowered hand. At his feet to the left crouches a panther, his sacred animal, looking upward. The composition is a standard provincial rendering of the Dionysiac type common in the cities of Mysia and the Conventus of Pergamum. The multi-line Greek legend occupying the field references the local strategos Apellichos and the civic identity of the Perperenians. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Perperene was a minor Aeolian settlement whose civic coinage output was sparse enough that individual magistrate names on its bronzes are rarely attested in more than a handful of specimens. The abbreviated strategia inscription here — garbled in transmission or from the die-cutter — makes the magistrate's full name unrecoverable with certainty, which is reflected honestly in the catalog reference itself.
The conventus of Pergamum administered a wide arc of smaller communities whose coin production was episodic rather than continuous. For Perperene, the reign of Severus Alexander appears to represent one of its last documented minting episodes.
