| Reverse description | Telesphorus, the Greek deity of convalescence and son of Asclepius, depicted standing facing, enveloped in a long hooded cloak, holding a bunch of grapes in his outstretched hand. The figure is rendered in a stiff, frontal hieratic style typical of Telesphorus iconography on provincial bronzes. The ethnic legend ΠΕΡΠΕΡΗΝΙΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Perperene. The composition is simple and unframed, consistent with the small flan of this minor civic bronze. |
