| Reverse description | Marsyas depicted standing to the left in full figure, his right arm raised aloft and his left shoulder supporting a wineskin, a motif closely associated with the civic identity of the colonia of Parium. The figure is rendered in a compact, somewhat schematic provincial style characteristic of mid-third century Mysian bronzes. The colonial legend COL G I H PAR is distributed around the field, referencing the city's status as Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana. The reverse type alludes to the mythological tradition linking Marsyas to the founding iconography of Roman coloniae. |
