| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus enthroned to the left, depicted in a majestic seated pose upon an ornate throne with footstool visible beneath. The deity extends his right hand forward holding an uncertain object, possibly an eagle, and grasps a long vertical sceptre in his left hand. The Greek civic legend ΜΕΓΑΛΟΠΟΛΕ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΙΑϹ ΕΤ ΗϞ (of Megalopolis-Sebasteia, year 98) is distributed around the field, referencing the local era date. The die-work reflects the provincial engraving conventions of the Cappadocian region under the Antonine emperors. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Megalopolis-Sebasteia was a short-lived administrative fusion of two Pisidian communities under Roman provincial reorganization, and coins struck in the joint city's name are rare precisely because the arrangement didn't last. The RPC IV.3 corpus documents only a handful of dies for the entire Lucius Verus issues from this mint, making even circulated survivors genuinely scarce rather than merely old.
The era date ΕΤ ΗϞ — year 98 — anchors this piece within the local Sullan era, calculating to approximately 163/164 AD, squarely within the co-reign of Marcus Aurelius and Verus following the death of Antoninus Pius.
