| Reverse description | Standing nude figure of Marsyas depicted in full length, facing right, his right arm raised upward in a characteristic gesture of triumph or supplication, while his left arm supports a wineskin draped over his shoulder. The figure stands upon a rectangular base or plinth, reflecting the well-known cult statue of Marsyas that served as a symbol of civic freedom in Roman colonial cities. The encircling legend COL AVG TROAD identifies the issuing colony of Augusta Troas. The composition is typical of the Alexandrian Troas civic bronze coinage of the Antonine period. |
