| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, his body rendered in a formal frontal stance. He holds his characteristic attribute, the knotted serpent-staff (asklepian), in his right hand, with the coiling serpent rendered in relief against his figure. The legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ encircles the type in the field, identifying the issuing city of Prusa ad Olympum. The reverse type reflects the strong association of this Bithynian city with the cult of Asclepius. |
