| Reverse description | Facade of a hexastyle temple rendered in frontal view, with six columns rising from a stepped podium and supporting a triangular pediment; a globe or orb is depicted within the tympanum of the pediment. The architectural rendering conveys depth through the suggestion of columns receding into the background. The ethnic legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ, meaning 'of the Prusaeans', is inscribed in the lower field, identifying the civic mint of Prusa ad Olympum in Bithynia. The overall composition is characteristic of the civic temple-facade types commonly employed on Bithynian provincial bronzes of the Severan period. |
