Beschrijving keerzijde Full-length standing figure of Zeus of Aezani, facing left, depicted in the cult statue type characteristic of the sanctuary at Aezanis. The deity holds an eagle in his right hand and a long vertical sceptre in his left. The figure is rendered in a frontal, hieratic style recalling the celebrated cult image housed in the Temple of Zeus at Aezanis. The ethnic legend ΑΙΖΑΝΕΙΤΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The coin's reverse reflects the strong civic pride Aezanis placed in its famous Zeusian sanctuary.

Aanvullende informatie

Aezani, in the Phrygian interior, was a prosperous city whose civic pride rested heavily on its Temple of Zeus — one of the best-preserved Ionic temples in all of Asia Minor, substantially complete even today. Local bronze issues under Antoninus Pius reflect a city confident enough in its standing within the Sardis conventus to mint continuously across his long reign. The conventus system meant civic coinages like this required implicit Roman administrative approval, folding local identity into imperial hierarchy in a single struck object.
