| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the founder of the Roman colony as a togate priest, facing right and guiding a yoke of two oxen as he ploughs the sacred boundary furrow (sulcus primigenius), a standard founding type emblematic of Roman colonial identity. The scene is a well-known reverse type for Parium (Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana), reflecting the city's pride in its Roman colonial status. The Latin colonial abbreviation legend appears in the upper field above the figure. The die work is competent but shows the typical wear and surface roughness associated with base metal provincial issues of Asia Minor. |
