| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Lydios depicted standing to the left, his figure rendered in the conventional civic type of Phrygian provincial bronzes. He holds an eagle perched on his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre in his left. The Greek legend ΤΙ ΚΛ ϹΑΚΕΡΔΩϹ ΑΡΧΩΝ, naming the local magistrate Tiberius Claudius Sakerdos as archon, is distributed around the field. The coin's surface carries a dark brown patina with areas of earthen encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Colossae, once a significant Phrygian city on the Lycus River, had faded considerably by the Imperial period — Strabo writing that it had shrunk to a small town by his time. The archon named on this coin, Ti. Kl. Sakerdos, belongs to a class of local magistrates who used bronze civic coinage partly as a form of personal advertisement, funding issues to cement standing within their community. The Conventus of Cibyra grouped several such diminished Phrygian cities under a single judicial circuit, and coin-issuing rights within it were exercised sporadically, making dated civic series from this grouping relatively thin.
