| Beschrijving keerzijde | Capricorn advancing to the right, depicted with the foreparts of a goat and the tail of a fish, a dynastic symbol closely associated with the Julio-Claudian and later imperial tradition. The creature occupies the central field of the flan. The ethnic legend of the issuing city of Scepsis appears in the field below and around the type. The reverse type and inscription are characteristic of the civic bronze coinage struck under Roman imperial authority in the Troad region. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Scepsis was a minor Troad settlement with an outsized claim to literary history — it was here that Aristotle's library reportedly ended up after his death, buried in a pit by heirs afraid of Attalid book-collectors, and only recovered centuries later in damaged condition. By Trajan's reign the city was a quiet backwater within the Adramyteum conventus, issuing small bronzes more out of civic habit than economic necessity. The rarity of surviving civic bronzes from Scepsis reflects its limited output rather than heavy circulation loss.
