| Reverse description | Standing figure of Alexander the Great, identified as founder (ktistes) of Alexandria ad Issum, depicted in a frontal pose turning to the left. He holds a patera in his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre in his left, evoking his role as divine city-founder and patron deity of the civic community. The Greek civic legend occupies the field around the figure, referencing the city name, its epithet, and the local civic year ΑΠΡ (year 181 of the local era). The reverse type reflects the strong Hellenistic identity of this Cilician city under Roman imperial administration. |
