| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bare head of Poseidon facing right, rendered with characteristic thick wavy hair and beard befitting the god of the sea, the city's principal divine patron. A trident is visible to the right of the bust, and a dolphin appears to the left, both emblems emblematic of Carystus's maritime identity and the cult of Poseidon. The abbreviated civic ethnic legend ΚΑΡΥ appears in the field, and the design is contained within a dotted border on the irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carystus, on the southern tip of Euboea, was a minor Greek city whose civic coinage under Nero survives in frustratingly small numbers. The city was better known in antiquity for its quarries of cipollino marble — shipped across the empire for imperial building projects — than for any monetary output. That economic relationship with Rome likely explains why local elites bothered striking civic bronze at all during this period: a visible gesture of loyalty from a town whose real currency with the emperor was stone.
