| Beschrijving keerzijde | Mythological scene depicting the death of the infant Archemoros (also known as Opheltes): to the left, a heroic male figure stands facing right, engaged in combat with a large serpent coiled to the left and resting atop the body of the fallen infant. To the right, Hypsipyle, the infant's nurse, is shown in flight, moving right in a pose of alarm and distress. The composition references the Nemean myth closely associated with the founding of the Nemean Games, a subject of particular civic pride for Argos. The ethnic legend appears in the field. |

Argos claimed to be the oldest city in Greece — a boast the city backed aggressively in its coinage under the Antonines. The civic bronze issues of this period were largely prestige objects, circulating within a regional economy increasingly dominated by Roman financial infrastructure, but carrying iconographic assertions of Argive primacy that Roman emperors were content to indulge.
The reign dates here narrow to the co-emperorship period before Lucius Verus died in 169 AD, leaving Marcus to rule alone.
