Reverse description Bare head of Drusus Caesar facing right, depicted in the same unadorned provincial style as the obverse portrait, reflecting the coin's role as a commemorative issue honoring the sons of Germanicus. The effigy occupies the central field of the irregularly shaped flan, with the surrounding Latin legend attributing the issue to the colonial authority of Cnossus and naming the presiding duovir. The coin was struck during the reign of Caligula, who honored his brothers with this provincial coinage.
