| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nude Zeus striding vigorously to the right in a dynamic advancing pose, right arm raised and brandishing a thunderbolt, left arm extended outward. The deity is depicted in the heroic nude manner of classical Greek iconography, with powerful musculature suggested despite the worn surfaces. The ethnic legend ΜΕΓΑΡΕΩΝ is distributed in the field around the figure, identifying this as a civic issue of Megara. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Megara by the mid-second century AD was a city living largely on its mythological reputation — birthplace of Alcathous, home of the Megarian philosophical school — while its political weight had long since collapsed under Corinthian and then Roman dominance. Local bronze issues under Marcus Aurelius are rare survivals from a mint that produced sporadically and in small volume, reflecting a civic economy that never fully recovered after Sulla's forces sacked the city in 87 BC. The reference corpus IV.1#10958 accounts for very few confirmed specimens.
