| Reverse description | The eponymous hero Miletos, rendered as a youthful standing figure, is depicted to the left atop a ship's prow, his head turned to the right. He extends his right arm forward in a gesture of foundation or address, while holding a spear and shield in his left arm. This type evokes the mythological founder of the city of Miletos, hence the legend ΜΕΙΛΗΤΟϹ ΚΤΙϹΤΗϹ, meaning 'Miletos the Founder.' The composition reflects the civic pride of Miletopolis in its legendary heritage, a common motif on the city's provincial bronze coinage of the Antonine period. |
