| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two Nemeses standing facing each other in the field, each rendered in full figure. The Nemesis at left holds a bridle, symbol of restraint and retribution, while the Nemesis at right holds a cubit rule or measuring rod, emblem of divine justice. The pairing of the double Nemesis is a type particularly associated with Smyrna, where the goddess enjoyed a prominent cult. The legend naming the local magistrate (strategos) Marcus Labeon surrounds the composition, with the civic abbreviation ϹΜΥΡ identifying the mint city. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Markos Labeon served as strategos of Smyrna during the opening years of Antoninus Pius's reign, one of the rotating civic magistrates whose names Greek cities placed on their coinage as a form of local accountability — and, no doubt, personal prestige. Smyrna was among the most competitive of the Ionian cities in cultivating imperial favor, having petitioned repeatedly for the title of neokoros, the coveted designation as a temple warden of the imperial cult.
The magistrate's full name appearing in the genitive on the issue places the civic authority squarely on Labeon himself, not the emperor whose reign provided the dating bracket.
