| Reverse description | The god Apollo reclines to the right upon the back of a swan in flight moving to the left, an elegant mythological composition frequently employed on Bithynian civic bronzes. Apollo holds a lyre, his attribute as god of music and the arts. The reverse type reflects Chalcedon's civic pride and its association with Apolline cult. The ethnic legend ΚΑΛΧΑΔΟΝΙΩΝ, 'of the Chalcedonians', is inscribed in the field around the central type. |
