| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, stands facing with head turned to the left, his weight supported by a serpent-entwined staff (the Rod of Asclepius) held in his right hand. The figure is rendered in the classical tradition, draped in a himation, with the serpent staff serving as his principal attribute. The encircling reverse legend identifies the issuing city. The composition is typical of Bithynian provincial bronzes honouring healing deities. |
