| Reverse description | Ares, the god of war, depicted standing facing with head turned to the right, wearing a helmet. The deity rests his right hand upon a grounded spear and holds a sword in his left hand, a standard iconographic type associated with Ares in Argive civic coinage. The reverse legend ΑΡΓΕΙωΝ, meaning 'of the Argives,' appears in the field, affirming the civic identity of the issuing authority. The style is consistent with Greek provincial bronze coinage of the Hadrianic period. |
