| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Antoninus Pius facing right, with possible traces of drapery on the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in typical provincial style, with the laureate wreath clearly visible above the brow. A central test hole is present in the field, a common post-antique modification. The partial Greek legend runs along the upper rim, with only portions legible due to wear and the irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tanagra's civic bronze issues under Antoninus Pius belong to a broader revival of local coinage across Greek poleis that the emperor quietly encouraged as part of his decentralizing administrative style — a sharp contrast to Hadrian's more interventionist approach to the provinces. The city itself had been reduced to a minor Boeotian backwater by the imperial period, its classical fame resting almost entirely on the sanctuary of Demeter and the Graces and its terracotta figurine industry rather than any ongoing political significance.
The reference IV.1#7856 places this among the RPC IV online corpus, where many Achaean civic bronzes of this reign remain provisionally attributed pending die studies.
