| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Delphic tripod, the sacred cult object of Apollo and pre-eminent symbol of the sanctuary at Delphi, depicted in the centre of the field in frontal view, with a cauldron set upon three slender legs and a prominent central support. The tripod is rendered in the schematic style typical of provincial bronze coinage of the Hadrianic period. The ethnic legend ΔΕΛΦΩΝ (of the Delphians) appears around the periphery, asserting the civic identity of the issuing authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Delphi's civic coinage under Hadrian reflects the emperor's unusually close relationship with the sanctuary — he visited twice, was initiated into the Eleusinian Mysteries, and took a personal interest in the religious administration of Greek sacred sites. The Amphictyonic League, which governed Delphi, had its membership restructured by Hadrian, effectively increasing Roman and pro-Roman influence over the council that controlled the oracle's affairs.
The reference III#446 places this within the Amandry corpus for Phocian regional bronzes. Low surviving populations for Delphic civic issues of this period suggest limited and localized distribution.
