| Beschrijving keerzijde | Mount Argaeus, the sacred volcanic mountain of Cappadocia, rendered as a conical peak adorned with trees on its slopes. On the summit stands a figure of Helios facing left, holding a globe in one hand and a long sceptre in the other, symbolizing the solar cult associated with this sacred mountain. The date legend ΕΤ Ζ (Year 7) appears in the field, placing the issue in the seventh year of Antoninus Pius's reign. This reverse type is a hallmark of Caesarean civic coinage under the Roman Empire. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Caesarea in Cappadocia — modern Kayseri — was the administrative capital of one of Rome's most strategically sensitive provinces, sitting astride the routes connecting Syria to the Pontic coast. Cappadocia had been absorbed as a province under Tiberius in 17 AD, and its cities began producing civic bronze coinage in earnest under the Antonines. The ΕΤ Ζ in the legend denotes regnal year seven of Antoninus Pius, placing this strike precisely in 143/144 AD.
Caesarean bronzes of this period are notoriously inconsistent in flan preparation, and the series shows considerable variation in die axis even within single years.
