| Reverse description | The personification of Mount Olympos depicted as a bearded, semi-nude male figure reclining to the left, his body partially draped. He holds a branch in his outstretched right hand, while his left arm rests upon rocks — a compositional device common in provincial river and mountain deity types. The figure's muscular form and relaxed pose follow Hellenistic iconographic conventions for personified landscape deities. The ethnic legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Prusa ad Olympum, whose close association with the sacred mountain made this reverse type a civic emblem. |
