| Reverse description | Homonoia, the personification of civic concord, standing left, wearing a kalathos upon her head and draped in long robes. She extends a patera in her right hand over a small lighted altar at her feet, while her left arm supports a cornucopia. The magistrate legend ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡ Π ϹΑΛΩΝΙΟΥ (ΝΕΟΥ) ΕΛΑΙΤΩΝ surrounds the figure, referencing the strategos P. Salonius Neos under whose authority the coin was struck at Elaea. |

| Additional information |
Elaea served as the port city of Pergamon, and by the Antonine period its civic coinage was largely a function of municipal prestige rather than commercial necessity — Pergamon's own mint dominated regional circulation. The magistrate name in the legend, Salonius (Neos), suggests a local official distinguishing himself from an elder relative of the same name, a naming convention that occasionally complicates die-series attribution for this city's bronzes.
