(Translation: Emperor[---] Publius Licinius Gallienus)
Reverse description The civic agonistic inscription ΟΛΥΝΠΙΑ enclosed within a finely rendered laurel or olive wreath tied at the base, occupying the entire reverse field. The legend ΤΡΑΛΛΙΑΝΩΝ appears above or around the wreath, referencing the issuing city of Tralles and commemorating the local Olympian games. This wreath type is a hallmark of Trallian civic bronze coinage celebrating festival prizes or agonistic honors. The overall design is simple yet prestigious, emphasizing the city's right to hold Olympian-title games.
