| Reverse description | A conical or pyramidal cult object — identified as the sacred stone (baetyl) of Mount Argaeus or a representation of the mountain itself rendered in triangular form — occupies the central field. The iconic image is characteristic of Caesarean civic coinage and alludes to the venerated peak of Mount Argaeus, the sacred symbol of the city. The surrounding Greek legend reads ΥΠΑΤΟC Δ ΠΑΤ ΠΑΤΡ[ΙΔΟC?], referencing the emperor's fourth consulship and his title Pater Patriae. The reverse die is struck on an irregularly shaped flan typical of provincial Cappadocian bronze issues. |
