The portrait displays the characteristic short beard and wavy hair of Hadrian's iconography. The encircling obverse legend reads ΑΥ ΚΑΙ ΤΡ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ, identifying the emperor as Caesar Trajan Hadrian. The engraving reflects the provincial Phrygian workshop style typical of Apamean civic bronze coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apamea in Phrygia built much of its civic identity around the myth of Marsyas, the satyr flayed alive by Apollo after losing a musical contest — a legend the city claimed as locally rooted, with the river Marsyas running through its territory. The city promoted this connection aggressively on its coinage throughout the imperial period, using it to assert cultural distinction within a region crowded with competing Phrygian mints all vying for Roman attention.
The Hadrianic date places this issue within a period of renewed municipal pride across Asia Minor, following the emperor's extensive tour of the eastern provinces beginning in 123 AD.
