| Reverse description | Five-line Greek inscription enclosed within an olive or laurel wreath, reading ΚΛΕΩΝ ΑΓΑΠΗΤΟΣ ΕΥΜΕΝΕΩΝ, identifying the magistrate Kleon Agapetos and the civic authority of Eumenea. The wreath is tied at the base and rendered with individual leaves extending symmetrically to either side. The text fills the entire central field in a compact, well-spaced arrangement typical of civic honorific issues from Phrygia under the Julio-Claudian dynasty. |

| Additional information |
Eumenea, a Phrygian city refounded by Attalid rulers in the second century BC, issued this bronze under the magistrate Kleon Agapetos during the early Tiberian period. The city was a loyal participant in the imperial cult of the Julio-Claudian house, and issues honoring Livia — wife of Augustus, mother of Tiberius — reflect that civic investment in dynastic flattery at the local level. Kleon's name appearing prominently signals the magistracy system by which Phrygian cities assigned accountability for coin production to named officials.
