| Reverse description | Eros depicted nude, standing facing with legs crossed in a relaxed contrapposto pose, his left elbow resting upon a column for support. He holds an arrow in his raised right hand, a motif emblematic of the god's role as personification of love and desire. The reverse legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ arcs around the field, identifying the coin as an issue of the Prusaeans. The composition reflects standard Hellenistic iconographic conventions for Eros commonly employed on Bithynian civic bronzes of the imperial era. |
