| Reverse description | The river god Astraios, local deity of Metropolis in Ionia, depicted as a reclining male figure leaning to the left. He holds a reed in his extended hand and rests his opposite arm upon an overturned water urn from which water flows, a standard iconographic convention for river deities in provincial Roman coinage. The figure is rendered in a classical Hellenistic style within a plain field, with the ethnic legend disposed around the periphery. |
