The inscription records the name of the city of Tomis and the magistrate Dionysios, following the standard formulaic convention of Moesian civic bronzes under the early Roman Empire. The wreath border frames the lettering on all sides, with a small tie or binding element visible at the foot. |

| Additional information |
Tomis, the Black Sea port where Ovid died in exile in 17 AD, struck its own civic bronze throughout the Tiberian period under the authority of a local magistrate whose name — Dionysios — appears on this issue. The city retained considerable administrative autonomy under Rome, and the use of a named magistrate on coinage reflects that civic pride rather than any imperial directive.
