| Reverse description | Laureate head of Zeus, possibly syncretised with Sarapis, facing right, rendered in a mature bearded portrait style typical of Peloponnesian provincial coinage. The modelling of the hair and beard is boldly executed, with thick wavy locks framing the face. The ethnic legend ΑΡΓΕΙΩΝ (of the Argives) is inscribed in the field around the head, asserting the civic identity of the issuing authority. The overall style reflects local Argive die-cutting conventions of the Hadrianic period. |
