| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΝΤ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟϹ ΑΥΓ ϹΕΒ ΤΡΑΝΚΥΛΛΙΝΑ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Marcus Antonius Gordianus Augustus, Augusta Tranquillina) |
| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple depicted in elevation, with four columns framing the cult statue of Asclepius standing to the left within the intercolumniation, holding his serpent-entwined staff (caduceus). The architectural rendering includes a pediment above the columns, presented in the typical frontal provincial style. The ethnic legend ΜΕϹΑΜΒΡΙΑΝΩΝ is inscribed around the design, identifying the issuing city of Mesambria. The reverse type reflects the civic religious identity of Mesambria and its veneration of Asclepius as a patron deity. |
