Reverse description Athena standing facing, head turned to the left, clad in chiton and aegis, holding a patera in her extended right hand and a long spear in her left; a round shield rests upright against her left side. The figure is rendered in a static, frontal composition characteristic of provincial Mysian bronzes. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is inscribed in the field around the deity. The reverse type emphasizes the civic patronage of Athena as protectress of Adramyteum.
