| Reverse description | A lyre occupies the central field of the reverse, serving as the civic emblem of Hierapolis in Phrygia, a city associated with musical and religious traditions. Above the lyre appears a monogram, likely referencing a civic magistrate or mint official. The Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the issuing city and the local magistrate Asklepiades responsible for the coinage. The overall style and fabric are consistent with Phrygian provincial bronze issues of the Julio-Claudian period. |
