| Reverse description | A seated deity, most likely the god Ares or a local river god enthroned, rendered in high relief at the centre of the composition on a decorated base or platform. The figure is flanked by subordinate elements and additional figures, consistent with the elaborate civic reverse types produced at the Caesarea mint in Cappadocia. A circular Greek legend surrounds the scene along the periphery, citing the metropolis of Caesarea and the regnal year. The overall composition reflects the ambitious, densely populated reverse designs characteristic of early third-century Cappadocian provincial bronzes. |
