| Beschrijving keerzijde | A war galley (navis longa) depicted in left profile, with rowers visible along the hull and a prominent curved stern post; the vessel rides upon a stylised waterline. In the waters below and around the galley, four dolphins are shown leaping or swimming to the left, a motif closely associated with the maritime prosperity of Apamea Myrlea on the Propontis. The civic legend C I C A D D — abbreviating Colonia Iulia Concordia Apamea Dedicata (or similar colonial titulature) — is distributed across the field above and flanking the galley, within a dotted border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apamea, situated on the Propontis in Bithynia, was formally refounded as a Roman colony under Julius Caesar and retained its colonial status through the imperial period — hence the C I C A formula in the civic legend, abbreviating Colonia Iulia Concordia Apamea. Provincial bronzes from this city are relatively scarce compared to other Bithynian centers, and issues attributable specifically to Commodus's reign narrow the field considerably. The addition of DD — decreto decurionum, by decree of the town council — reflects the formal civic authorization required even for local bronze production under imperial oversight.
