| Reverse description | The Lupa Romana, the legendary she-wolf of Rome, stands to the right with head turned back to the left, suckling the twin infants Romulus and Remus beneath her. The scene is rendered in a compact, provincial style typical of the Mysian colonial mint of Parium, referencing the city's Roman colonial identity. A ground line is visible beneath the figures. The abbreviated colonial title legend appears in the field above, serving as a proud declaration of Parium's status as a Roman colony. Patination and surface corrosion limit the sharpness of the design elements. |
