Beschrijving keerzijde A Capricorn — the personal emblem of Augustus and civic symbol adopted by the Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana — depicted in right profile, its fish-tail body and forelegs rendered with compact provincial engraving. A small figure, possibly a Nereid or Cupid, is seated upon the creature's back, consistent with known iconographic parallels for this reverse type at Parium. The colonial abbreviation C G I H P appears in the lower field, identifying the issuing authority as Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana. The field is flat and largely devoid of additional ornament. The coin exhibits a dark olive-green patina with areas of earthen encrustation.

Aanvullende informatie

Parium, the Roman colony on the southern shore of the Propontis, struck civic bronzes under its own authority well into the Antonine period, though this piece's attribution to the reign of Commodus — not Antoninus Pius, who died in 161 AD — is the first thing a careful reader will notice. The colonial title C G I H P (Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana) reflects the layered honorifics the city accumulated across successive imperial refoundations, Hadrian's among them.

The SNG Copenhagen 296 variant designation signals a die or legend difference from the primary type — worth cross-referencing against RPC IV when a full attribution is needed.
