| 背面描述 | A river-god reclines to the left in the typical Hellenistic personification convention, his semi-nude figure supported on a overturned water-urn from which water flows, symbolising a local watercourse associated with the territory of Argos. He holds a long reed in one hand, a standard attribute of river deities in Greek provincial coinage. The figure is rendered in a relaxed, reclining posture with drapery across the lower body. The ethnic legend ΑΡΓΕΙωΝ appears in the field, identifying this as a civic issue of the Argives. The surface shows considerable wear and green patination typical of bronze provincial coinage of the Antonine period. |

Argos maintained active bronze production under Antoninus Pius largely because the city retained genuine civic pride in its antiquity — it claimed to be the oldest city in Greece, a boast that imperial-era coinage helped sustain as local propaganda. The Achaean cities were permitted to strike bronze for purely local circulation during this period, a privilege that depended on remaining politically cooperative with Rome.
The reference IV.1#813 places this among the Peloponnesian civic issues catalogued by the Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum series.
