| Beschrijving keerzijde | Fortuna stands facing in the central field, holding a sceptre surmounted by a trophy in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, her left foot resting upon a small crouching figure. To the right stands the nude figure of Marsyas, turned to the left, with his right arm raised and a wineskin slung over his shoulder — the latter being the civic emblem of Bostra commonly depicted on the city's colonial coinage. The exergual area is plain, and the reverse legend encircles the composition identifying the issuing colony. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bostra served as the capital of Roman Arabia after Trajan formalized the province in 106 AD, and its colonial mint remained active for well over a century. Trajan Decius ruled barely two years before dying at the Battle of Abritus in 251 — the first Roman emperor killed in battle against a foreign enemy. Provincial issues from his reign are correspondingly scarce, and Bostra's output during this period is no exception.
