| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two Nemeses standing facing each other in the field, each plucking at her chiton at the neckline in the characteristic gesture of the goddess. One figure holds a cubit rule (measuring rod), the other holds a bridle, both attributes emblematic of Nemesis as enforcer of divine retribution and measure. The composition is symmetrical, with the figures rendered in the local Smyrnaean provincial style. A Greek legend naming the strategos and the civic authority of the Smyrnaeans runs around the periphery within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Smyrna was among the most aggressively competitive cities in the Roman province of Asia when it came to imperial honors, and the magistrate Claudius Aristophanes — named in the obverse legend — likely funded or arranged this issue personally, as was common practice for the strategoi and grammateis who appear on provincial bronzes of this period. The city held the title of neokoros, temple warden to the imperial cult, and coin production was as much a civic prestige exercise as a practical monetary matter.
