| Obverse lettering | Μ ΙΟΥ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟϹ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ (Translation: Marcus Julius Philippus Caesar) |
| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple with four columns and a rounded pediment, rendered in a frontal architectural elevation typical of provincial Asiatic coinage. Within the intercolumniation stands the cult statue of Samian Hera, depicted in the archaic xoanon tradition associated with the famous Heraion of Samos. The architectural rendering emphasizes the religious and civic importance of the sanctuary as a symbol of Samian civic pride. The Greek ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field or around the design, identifying the issuing community. The overall style is consistent with third-century provincial bronzes from the Ionian conventus. |
