| Beschrijving keerzijde | An eagle stands facing in the centre of the field, its head turned to the left and its wings spread prominently to either side, a well-established emblem of Zeus and divine authority frequently employed on Argive civic coinage. The bird is rendered in a frontal, heraldic pose with talons visible at the base. The ethnic legend ΑΡΓΕΙωΝ, identifying the issuing city of Argos, is disposed around the periphery of the reverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Argos occupied an awkward position under Roman rule — ancient enough to claim mythological precedence over nearly every other Greek city, yet politically subordinate within the province of Achaea. Local bronze issues like this one were permitted as a form of civic expression rather than economic necessity, filling small-denomination gaps that imperial coinage left open in provincial markets. The Antonine period saw a modest flowering of such civic bronzes across the Peloponnese.
The reference IV.1#4632 places this within the Roman Provincial Coinage corpus. Argive bronzes of this reign are not common in any grade.
