| 裏面の説明 | Four lines of Greek inscription arranged within an olive wreath that encircles the entire field, the wreath rendered with individual leaves and berries visible along both sides. The legend names the local archon under whose magistracy the coin was struck, reading ΕΠΙ ΑΡΧΙ [ΦΛ?] ΕΠΑΦΡΟΔΙΤοΥ, referencing the eponymous official Flavius Epaphroditos. This magistrate-naming formula is characteristic of Greek Imperial civic bronzes from the Aegean island communities during the reign of Commodus. |

Melos, a small island polis with no significant mint tradition, issued civic bronzes under Commodus sporadically and in small numbers. The magistrate name partially preserved in the legend — Epaphroditos, likely a freedman's descendant given the name's strong association with imperial slave households — suggests the archonship was held by someone of Greek or emancipated stock, not unusual in provincial administration of the period. Very few die pairs are known for Melian issues under Commodus, and the fragmentary rendering of the ethnic in this legend points to a small, possibly single-session striking.
