| Reverse description | Eros seated astride a dolphin leaping to the right, holding a whip or goad in his raised hand, the dolphin's tail curling upward beneath the figure. The composition is rendered in the compact, lively style common to Bithynian provincial bronzes of the Antonine period. A dotted border frames the central type, with the mint legend arranged in two lines in the lower field and continuing around the periphery. The scene evokes erotic and maritime mythological imagery popular in Asia Minor civic coinage. |
