| Reverse description | Poseidon, the patron deity of Prusa ad Olympum, depicted standing and facing right, with his right foot raised upon a rocky outcrop. The god holds a long trident upright in his left hand and a dolphin in his extended right hand, both attributes emblematic of his dominion over the sea. The composition is rendered in the round, with the figure occupying the central field against a plain background. The civic ethnic legend of Prusa ad Olympum encircles the type, affirming the issuing authority of this provincial bronze. Surface wear and encrustations obscure some detail, consistent with circulated examples of this issue. |
