| Obverse description | Helmeted and cuirassed bust of the goddess Roma draped in a mantle, facing right; to the right of the bust, a sword in its sheath is visible in the field. The obverse legend ΘΕΑ ΡΩΜΗ ('Divine Roma') is inscribed around the periphery, identifying the deity in Greek script. The portrait is rendered in the provincial Greek civic style characteristic of Lydian bronze coinage under the Antonine emperors. |

| Reverse description | Homonoia, the personification of civic concord, stands facing with head turned to the left, wearing a kalathos (basket crown) atop her head. In her right hand she extends a patera over a small lighted altar at her side, while her left hand holds a cornucopia. The reverse legend ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡΑ ΜΗΝΟΔΩΡΟΥ Β ΙΕΡΟΚΑΙϹΑΡΕ is inscribed around the field, citing the name and title of the local strategos Menodoros and the ethnic of the issuing city Hierocaesarea. The composition is typical of civic bronze issues from Lydia under Marcus Aurelius, emphasizing communal harmony and religious piety. |
