| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare laureate head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of Bithynian civic coinage. The portrait features the emperor's characteristic mature facial features with a short beard. A circular legend runs around the periphery of the flan. The die work is characteristic of a provincial mint, with somewhat rough but expressive modelling of the imperial effigy. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apamea in Bithynia was a Roman colony — Colonia Iulia Concordia Apamea — whose civic bronze issues under Antoninus Pius were produced by local authority under the sanction of the decuriones, reflected in the D D (decreto decurionum) formula. The colonists used Latin legends on civic bronzes long after Greek had become standard across most of the eastern provincial coinage, a deliberate assertion of colonial Roman identity in a predominantly Hellenized region.
The reign of Antoninus Pius saw unusually stable conditions for civic minting throughout Bithynia-Pontus — no military disruptions, no currency crises.
