| Beschrijving keerzijde | The hero Aeneas depicted in full figure advancing to the right, head turned back to the left, shown in the act of flight from Troy. He carries his aged father Anchises upon his left shoulder, the elder figure rendered seated with arms extended, while the young Ascanius (Iulus) walks beside Aeneas at lower left, led by the hand. The composition evokes the celebrated Trojan foundation myth particularly relevant to this region of the Troad. The Greek civic legend ϹΚΗΨΙΩΝ ΔΑΡ is disposed around the field, and a dotted border frames the design. |

Scepsis was a minor Troad city whose claim to ancient fame rested largely on the story that Aristotle's library passed through it — reportedly hidden in a pit by heirs of Theophrastus before eventually reaching Rome via Sulla's looting of Athens. The city's bronze coinage under Severus was purely local in function, circulating within the Adramyteum conventus as small-denomination exchange with no pretension to wider reach. The magistrate abbreviation ΔΑΡ has not been firmly identified, which is not unusual for Troas civic bronzes of this period.
