| Beschrijving keerzijde | The local deity Theos Megas (the Great God of Odessos) depicted reclining to the left upon a kline or rocky ground, his right hand extended holding a cornucopia. The figure's upper body is partially upright in a characteristic reclining divine pose well-attested on Odessian civic bronzes of the imperial period. The ethnic legend ΟΔΗϹϹΕΙΤΩΝ is inscribed in the lower field and exergue, identifying the issuing city. The reverse border shows traces of a dotted or beaded circle, consistent with provincial Moesian civic coinage of the Trajanic era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Odessos, the Greek colonial city on the Black Sea coast of Moesia — modern Varna in Bulgaria — maintained local bronze coinage under Roman imperial authority as a practical concession to regional commerce. Trajan's Dacian campaigns, fought just inland from this coastal corridor, made Moesian cities logistically critical; local bronze kept small transactions moving without drawing on imperial mint resources.
