| Reverse description | Central type depicts the cult statue of Zeus Kasios or a similar seated deity within a naiskos or temple structure, rendered in low relief with flanking columns visible. Radiating lines above the central figure may represent a palm tree or divine nimbus, a motif common to Seleucian civic coinage. The surrounding Greek legend identifies the city as holy and autonomous. The reverse composition follows the standard iconographic program of Seleucia Pieria's civic bronze coinage under the Flavians, emphasizing the city's privileged religious and political status. The flan is irregular and the strike is somewhat off-center, as is typical for provincial hammered bronzes of this period. |
