| Reverse description | The satyr Marsyas depicted nude, standing facing right, with his right arm raised aloft and a wineskin draped over his left shoulder. The figure is rendered in the local provincial style associated with the colonial coinage of Alexandria Troas, where Marsyas served as a civic emblem of the colony's Roman status. The Latin colonial legend is distributed in the field around the figure. The flan surface bears a green patina with areas of encrustation consistent with extended burial. |
