| Reverse description | The reverse features the inscription ISTHMIA displayed within a decorative pine wreath, referencing the celebrated Isthmian Games held near Corinth under the sanctuary of Poseidon at Isthmia. The wreath, formed of pine branches tied at the base, occupies the central field and serves as both a frame and a thematic emblem evoking the athletic festival prize. This reverse type is characteristic of Corinthian provincial bronzes commemorating the Isthmian Games, one of the four great Panhellenic festivals of antiquity. The coin's flan is broad and irregular, consistent with hand-struck provincial issues of the Antonine period. |
