| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, stands facing with head turned to the left, his weight supported by a knotted serpent-staff (the rod of Asclepius) set on the ground in his right hand. The figure is depicted in long robes in the classical tradition characteristic of Pontic civic bronzes. The legend ΑΜΙϹΟΥ ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΑϹ is disposed around the type, affirming the free status of the city of Amisus. A dotted border frames the reverse field. |
