| Reverse description | Artemis Pythie standing to the left, wearing a kalathos on her head, depicted in full-length robes in a hieratic pose typical of Milesian civic coinage. She holds a patera in her extended right hand and carries a bow and arrow in her left, attributes associated with her cultic role at Miletus. The reverse legend ΕΠΙ ΘΕΜΙϹ ΜΙΛΗϹΙΩΝ, arranged around the field, references the magistrate Themis and the civic authority of the Milesians. |

| Additional information |
Miletus struck bronze issues under Marcus Aurelius during the early co-reign with Lucius Verus, a period when the city was administratively answerable to the conventus — the Roman judicial circuit centered on the region. The magistrate name preserved in the legend, Themis, anchors this piece within a specific civic appointment, though the individual remains otherwise unattested in the epigraphic record.
