| Reverse description | The river god Imbrasus, the sacred river of Samos, depicted as a reclining male figure turned to the left, his nude body semi-recumbent in the manner conventional for personified waterways in Hellenistic and Roman provincial coinage. In his extended right hand he holds a reed, while his left arm cradles a cornucopia symbolising abundance; he rests upon an overturned vase or urn from which water flows, the standard iconographic attribute identifying the figure as a river deity. The ethnic legend of the Samians appears in the field. |
