| 背面描述 | Bare head of a second figure — likely Germanicus or another member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty — facing right, rendered in a style consistent with Cretan provincial bronze coinage of the early Imperial period. The surrounding Greek legend identifies the subject and records the civic and magistrate references pertinent to the issuing authority of Lyttos, a city of eastern Crete. The reverse inscription incorporates the abbreviations for the local monetary magistrate and the city ethnic. |

Lyttos was one of Crete's oldest poleis, claiming mythological foundation by the Curetes and a civic pride so fierce that it refused absorption into the Knossos-dominated island hierarchy for centuries. By the time Caligula took power in 37 AD, Crete had been a Roman province for nearly a century, yet cities like Lyttos still exercised enough local autonomy to issue bronze civic coinage in the emperor's name — a privilege that functioned as much as a loyalty signal as a practical monetary instrument. The magistrate abbreviations ΧΡ and ΛΥΤ visible in the legend identify this as a locally supervised issue, tying specific officials to the production.
