| Obverse lettering | Λ ΑΥ ΚΟΜΟΔΟϹ (all retrograde) (Translation: Lucius Aurelius Commodus) |
| Reverse description | Two Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux) depicted standing facing, turned slightly toward one another, each clad in military attire and holding a long spear upright. The figures are rendered in a simple, somewhat schematic provincial style typical of small Aegean island bronzes of the Antonine period. The retrograde ethnic legend ϹΥΡΙωΝ appears in the field, denoting the civic authority of the Syriotes. The overall design, though worn, preserves the characteristic symmetrical composition associated with the divine twins in Greek provincial coinage. |
