| Reverse description | A she-wolf standing right, her head lowered to suckle the twins Romulus and Remus who crouch beneath her. The scene references the legendary foundation of Rome and was employed by Severan-era provincial mints to affirm loyalty to the Roman imperial ideal. The ethnic legend ΑΤΤΑΛΕΑΤΩΝ is inscribed in the field above the wolf, identifying the issuing civic authority of Attalea in Lydia. The design is rendered in the bold, summary style characteristic of small provincial bronze coinage. |
