Beschrijving keerzijde Pythagoras, the famous philosopher native to Samos, depicted as a bearded male figure seated to the left on a throne or chair. His right hand extends forward, holding a stylus pointed towards a globe or armillary sphere set atop a column before him, while his left hand grasps a long sceptre. The composition alludes to Samos's pride in its celebrated son and his contributions to mathematics and astronomy. The ethnic legend appears in the field.

Aanvullende informatie

Samos passed to Roman provincial administration as part of the conventus of Miletus, under which local civic bronzes like this one were produced with considerable autonomy — the island retained the right to strike in its own name throughout the Severan period. Issues attributable to Septimius Severus from Samos are relatively scarce compared to output from the mainland Ionian cities, likely reflecting the island's reduced commercial standing by the late second century.
