Beschrijving keerzijde A river-god reclines to the left in the typical personification associated with Smyrnaean civic coinage, his upper body partially raised and turned slightly toward the viewer. In his right hand he holds a reed, while his left arm rests upon an overturned urn from which water flows, symbolizing the abundance of a local river. The figure is rendered in a Hellenistic artistic tradition common to Ionian provincial bronzes of the Neronian period. A Greek circular legend surrounds the type, naming the strategos responsible for the issue.

Aanvullende informatie

Smyrna held the title of Asia's most loyal city to Rome, a rivalry with Ephesus and Pergamon that played out partly through competitive coin production honoring the imperial house. This piece falls in the final months of Nero's reign and the immediate aftermath of his suicide in June 68 AD — the opening of the Year of the Four Emperors — making the precise magistrate dating of ΖΜΡ critical to establishing which political moment the city was navigating when the dies were cut.
