| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Κ Γ ΒΕΙΒ ΓΑΛΛΟϹ ΑΥΙ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Gaius Vibius Gallus Augustus) |
| Reverse description | Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry, stands facing left in a relaxed contrapposto pose, clad in a long chiton. He extends his right hand forward holding a bunch of grapes, while his left hand grasps a thyrsus — the staff entwined with ivy and topped with a pine cone — held diagonally. A small figure, possibly a panther or Eros, appears at the god's feet to the lower left. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed around the field, attributing the issue to the city of Nicaea in Bithynia. |
