| Reverse description | Plain reverse field bearing a multi-line Greek inscription arranged in two horizontal lines, referencing the proconsul Marcus Salvidenus Asprenas under whose authority the coin was struck. The legend reads ΕΠΙ Μ ΣΑΛΟΥΙΔΗΝΟΥ ΑΣΠΡ(ΗΝΑ) ΑΝΘΥΠ in the central field, with ΑΝΘΥ-ΠΑΤΟΥ distributed around the periphery, the full unabbreviated text reading ἐπὶ Μάρκου Σαλουιδηνοῦ Ἀσπρηνᾶ ἀνθυπάτου, meaning 'under Marcus Salvidenus Asprenas, proconsul'. The arrangement is characteristic of Bithynian provincial bronze coinage of the Flavian period. |
