| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Marsyas standing left, holding a wineskin (utris) raised over his left shoulder, a motif closely associated with the colony of Sinope and its Roman civic identity. The figure is rendered in a bold, somewhat schematic provincial style. The field carries the colonial dating legend C I F AN CXXXIIX, denoting Colonia Iulia Felix Sinopensis in the year 138 of the local colonial era (corresponding to 82–83 AD). |
