| Reverse description | The city founder, depicted as a togatus priest, advances to the right guiding a yoke of two oxen as he ploughs the ritual sulcus primigenius, the sacred boundary furrow marking the foundation of the colonia. This reverse type is a hallmark of the colonial coinage of Parium, commemorating its status as a Roman colony. The colonial abbreviation C G I H P (Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana) appears in the field or exergue. |
