| Reverse description | Eros standing to the left in a relaxed contrapposto pose, legs crossed at the ankle, leaning with both arms upon an inverted torch whose tip rests on the ground. The figure is rendered in the Hellenistic manner, conveying an air of languid repose characteristic of provincial bronze coinage from Bithynia. The ethnic legend ΒΙΘΥΝΙΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. The flan is irregular with a granular, dark green patina consistent with the period. |
