| Reverse description | Youthful head of Dionysus facing right, crowned with an ivy wreath, rendered in the Hellenistic artistic tradition characteristic of Pontic civic bronzes. The god's soft, idealized facial features and flowing hair evoke the classical imagery of the vine deity long venerated at Amisus. The surrounding Greek legend references the city's free status and provides a civic era date, reading ΑΜΙϹΟΥ ΕΛΕΥΘ ΕΤ ϹΜΗ, with the era numeral ϹΜΗ (248) corresponding to the Pontic era year equating to 216–217 AD. The reverse field shows traces of additional decorative elements consistent with the worn state of this provincial issue. |
