| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Emperor Caligula (Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus) facing, depicted capite velato — with his toga drawn up over his head in the attitude of a Roman priest — and holding a patera in his extended right hand, ready to perform a sacrificial libation. The Greek legend distributed around the figure names the emperor, with the mint abbreviation ΜΥΤΙ also present. The composition reflects the imperial cult imagery promoted by the Mytilene civic authority in honour of the reigning emperor. |
