| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ ΑΝΤ[ωΝ]ΕΙΝΟϹ ΕΥϹΕΒΗϹ (Translation: Emperor Antoninus Pius) |
| Reverse description | Full-length figure of the hero Diomedes standing facing, head turned to the right, holding a sword in one hand and the Palladium — the sacred cult image of Athena — in the other. The figure is rendered in the schematic style characteristic of Argive provincial coinage of the Antonine period. The ethnic legend ΑΡΓΕΙωΝ (of the Argives) is disposed around the figure in the field, referencing the mythological tradition associating Diomedes with the city of Argos. |
