| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two deities stand facing one another within the reverse field: at left, Kore (Persephone) stands facing right, holding a long torch in her left hand and a patera in her right; at right, a veiled Demeter stands facing left, holding two ears of grain and a long torch. The composition reflects the prominent civic cult of the Eleusinian goddesses at Odessos. The ethnic legend ΟΔΗϹϹΕΙΤΩΝ appears in the reverse field, identifying the issuing city. The figures are rendered in a competent but distinctly provincial style typical of Moesian civic bronzes of the Antonine period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Odessos, the Greek colonial settlement on the Black Sea coast of Moesia Inferior (modern Varna, Bulgaria), minted provincial bronzes through much of the imperial period under its own civic authority. This issue falls within the years Commodus held sole power following the death of Marcus Aurelius in 180 AD — a reign the Senate would later damn to memory, voting damnatio memoriae immediately after his assassination in 192. Provincial mints like Odessos carried on regardless; civic coinage continued uninterrupted through the political turbulence in Rome, driven by local commercial needs rather than imperial decree.
