| Beschrijving keerzijde | Ares, the god of war, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left. The deity is shown in military guise, holding a long spear upright in one hand while resting the other hand upon a large round shield set on the ground beside him. The reverse legend ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ runs around the field, identifying the issuing civic authority of Metropolis in Ionia. The composition follows a standard provincial type for martial deities common to the Conventus of Ephesus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Metropolis in Ionia was a minor city whose civic coinage under Severus Alexander reflects the intense competition among Asian Greek cities for imperial favor during this period. The right to strike bronze — even at modest module — was a privilege tied to the city's status within the Ephesus conventus, the administrative district through which Rome managed judicial and civic affairs across the region. Metropolis was never a major player; its coinage corpus is thin, and VI#4838 is among the scarcer documented types from this mint.
