| Reverse description | Cybele, the Phrygian mother goddess, seated left upon a throne, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical crown) on her head. She extends her right hand forward holding a patera over a lion seated at her feet to the left, while her left arm rests upon a tympanum (drum). The composition is characteristic of Phrygian civic bronzes honouring the regional cult of Cybele, and the reverse legend in Greek identifies the issuing magistrate and city. |

| Additional information |
Eucarpia was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage output was modest even by provincial standards. The magistrate name preserved in the legend — Gaius Claudius Flaccus — follows the Roman onomastic pattern typical of enfranchised Anatolian elites under the Antonines, when the extension of citizenship through the conventus system made such magistracies simultaneously civic honors and instruments of Roman administrative integration in the interior of Asia Minor.
