| Reverse description | A founder depicted as a togated priest drives a yoke of two oxen to the right, ploughing the sacred furrow (sulcus primigenius) that marks the founding boundary of the Roman colony of Parium. The colonial abbreviation C G I H P (Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana) is arranged in the field around the central type, referencing the city's status as a Roman colony. The scene is rendered in the schematic, linear style typical of Mysian provincial bronzes of the Antonine period. |
