| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of the lunar deity Mên facing left, wearing the characteristic Phrygian cap, depicted in full-length robes. He holds a pine cone in one outstretched hand and a long sceptre in the other; a crescent moon appears behind his shoulders, serving as his principal divine attribute. The composition is typical of the Phrygian-Lydian cult of Mên as represented on provincial bronzes of the Antonine period. The encircling Greek legend names the local magistrate Lucius Tullius and the civic community of the Temenothyraeans. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Temenothyrae was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Antoninus Pius fits within a broader pattern of Roman-era municipal issues from the Sardis conventus — the judicial district through which Rome administered local affairs in Asia Minor. The magistrate name partially preserved in the obverse legend, read as Λ ΤΥ(Π) ΤΗΜΕΝΟΘΥΡΕ(Ν), likely reflects a local strategos or grammateus whose full identity remains unresolved in the epigraphic record.
The anomalous Ϸ-shaped rho, if present, is a regional letter form documented sporadically in Lydian civic bronzes and worth noting on any example where it appears.
