| Beschrijving keerzijde | A serpent erect, depicted rearing upright and facing left, rendered in a coiling, sinuous form characteristic of Bithynian civic types associated with Asklepios or local cult imagery. The design occupies the central field of the flan, with the ethnic legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ disposed around the periphery identifying the issuing city of Prusa ad Olympum. The surface shows heavy wear and corrosion consistent with the coin's age and circulation, with the serpent's form discernible despite encrustations. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Didius Julianus purchased the throne by outbidding his rival Pertinax's father-in-law at an auction staged by the Praetorian Guard in 193 AD, reigning just 66 days before being executed when Septimius Severus marched on Rome. Provincial mints across the east, including Prusa ad Olympum in Bithynia, had barely enough time to produce issues in his name — making civic bronzes attributable to his reign among the most time-compressed provincial coinages in the entire Roman series.
