| Reverse description | Standing figure, likely a deity or personification associated with the city of Germanicopolis, depicted facing forward in a relaxed contrapposto stance, draped in a chiton or himation. The figure holds attributes in each hand — a staff or sceptre in one hand and what appears to be a patera or branch in the other — and stands over a smaller figure or object at the base, possibly a captive or globe. The scene is rendered in the standard provincial die-cutting style of Bithynia under Hadrian. The circular Greek legend naming the city is distributed around the periphery of the reverse field. |
