| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two clasped right hands (dextrarum iunctio) depicted in the centre of the field, symbolizing concord or alliance, surmounted by a caduceus — the winged herald's staff entwined with serpents — a frequent emblem of peace and commerce on Trajallian civic bronzes. A Greek circular legend surrounds the type, naming the civic ethnicon and the magistrate responsible for the issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tralles, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley, had been devastated by earthquake in 26 BC and subsequently rebuilt largely at Augustus's personal expense — a calculated act of imperial patronage that generated intense local loyalty and a predictable surge in civic coinage honoring him. The magistrate name preserved here, almost certainly a local Greek official responsible for authorizing the issue, places this coin within the city's administrative response to that relationship.
Tralles was also a known center of rhetorical education and Roman-friendly aristocracy, which made it among the first Asian cities to adopt the Caesar title prominently in civic bronze.
