| Reversbeschreibung | The hero Ajax depicted in the act of falling upon his sword, his body oriented to the left in a dramatic scene of self-destruction. To the left of the figure, rocks are visible, while below lie a cuirass and shield, emblematic attributes of the fallen warrior. The composition draws upon the mythological tradition closely associated with the Troad and cities of the Propontis region. The reverse legend naming the Prusaeans appears within the field, affirming the civic pride of Prusa ad Olympum in its mythological heritage. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Macrinus ruled for just fourteen months before being defeated at the Battle of Antioch in 218 AD and executed shortly after — making any provincial bronze struck in his name among the shortest-lived imperial coinage types of the third century. Prusa ad Olympum, a Bithynian city nestled at the foot of Mount Olympus, maintained an active civic mint that issued bronzes under multiple emperors, but the window for Macrinus issues was brutally narrow.
Damnatio memoriae was not formally applied to Macrinus, yet his coins were not actively promoted by the succeeding Severan restoration under Elagabalus.
