| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing full-length figure of Dikaiosyne (personification of Justice) turned to the left, draped in a long chiton and himation. She extends her right hand forward holding a set of scales, symbolising equity and just measure, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia, representing abundance. The civic ethnic legend ΑΜΑϹΤΡΙΑΝΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Amastris. The overall composition follows a standard Antonine-period provincial reverse type used to express civic virtues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amastris was a Pontic coastal city with an unusually cosmopolitan pedigree — founded by a niece of Darius III and later married to Craterus, one of Alexander's generals, before she was murdered by her own sons. By the time this bronze was struck under Antoninus Pius, the city had been thoroughly absorbed into Roman provincial administration for nearly two centuries, yet its civic coinage continued asserting a distinctly Greek civic identity through its Ionic ethnic legend.
