| Beschrijving keerzijde | The river god Imbrasus, the mythological personification of the principal river of Samos, depicted as a reclining male figure turned to the left. He holds a reed in one hand and a cornucopia in the other, while resting his arm upon an overturned vase from which water flows, a standard iconographic convention for river deities in provincial Roman coinage. The reverse legend appears in the field identifying the issuing community. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samos sat within the conventus of Miletus during the Severan period, meaning local civic bronze was authorized through Roman provincial administrative channels rather than issued freely. The island's mint was intermittently active — output varied considerably depending on local festivals, imperial visits, and the political appetite of the civic magistrates who funded these issues. No imperial visit to Samos is recorded under Severus Alexander, so this coin most likely commemorates a local religious or civic occasion rather than any direct imperial engagement.
The ϹΑΜΙΩΝ ethnic places this firmly among the island's self-identifying civic issues, a designation Samos maintained with some pride given its ancient status as a free city under earlier Roman arrangements.
