| Reverse description | The river-god Billaios depicted in canonical reclining pose, turned to the left, his semi-nude figure supported on a water-urn from which a stream flows. He holds a leafy branch in his extended right hand and a cornucopia in his left, symbolizing the river's abundance and fertility. The Greek legend ΒΙΛΛΑΙΟC ΚΡΗΤΙΕΩΝ ΦΛΑ runs around the field, with the kappa rendered in the distinctive chi-shaped form noted as a local epigraphic peculiarity. The type is a standard civic reverse for Creteia-Flaviopolis, referencing the Billaios river that gave its name to the region. |
