| Reverse description | Dionysus standing to the left, holding a cantharus in his right hand and pouring its contents over a panther crouching at his feet. The god is depicted in his characteristic iconographic role as lord of wine and ecstatic ritual, associated with Teos as the city's patron deity. The two-line magistrate legend naming the strategos Claudius Nikephoros is distributed across the field. The composition reflects the standard reverse types of Ionian provincial coinage under the joint emperors Valerian and Gallienus. |
