| Beschrijving keerzijde | Marcus Aurelius, bearded, in military dress, depicted on horseback advancing to the right, his right arm raised in the gesture of adlocutio or salute. To the right stands a helmeted soldier facing left, holding a transverse military standard and a shield. The composition, typical of imperial honorific imagery, emphasises the martial authority of the senior emperor and is rendered in the vigorous relief style of Mysian civic bronze coinage. The reverse legend names the strategus Paios Aigeinous and the city of the Adramytenes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Adramyteum, a coastal city in Mysia with strong ties to Attalid Pergamon, issued this medallion during the co-reign of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus — a period bracketed by the Marcomannic Wars on one frontier and renewed Parthian pressure on the other. The magistrate named in the legend, Aelius Rheginus, held the strategia during what appears to have been a second term in office, the Β (beta) suffix confirming a repeated tenure rather than a shared magistracy.
Provincial medallions of this weight class were rarely struck for commerce. Issues from Adramyteum at this size were almost certainly produced for civic ceremony or diplomatic gifting.
