| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with aegis on the left shoulder, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Phrygian civic coinage. The radiate laurel wreath is clearly articulated, and the paludamentum is visible at the truncation. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ ΚΑΙ(Ϲ) ϹΕΒ(Α) in the field around the imperial effigy. The portrait exhibits the characteristic short beard and strong facial features associated with Hadrianic portraiture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apamea in Phrygia was one of the wealthiest cities of the Anatolian interior, refounded by Antiochus I Soter on the site of the Phrygian settlement of Celaenae and named for his mother. Under Roman administration it became a major judicial center — the seat of one of Asia's most active assize districts — which explains the consistent volume of civic bronze coinage struck there through the imperial period. This piece belongs to a locally administered issue, not a centrally directed mint production, meaning the city itself bore the cost and initiative of striking it.
