| Obverse description | A cista mystica depicted in the centre of the field, flanked on the left by a bunch of grapes and on the right by a thyrsus, the characteristic staff of Dionysus. The composition reflects the Dionysiac cult traditions of the colony, rendered in a schematic provincial style typical of early Imperial Peloponnesian bronzes. No legend is present on this face. |
