| Reverse description | Zeus Strategos depicted standing, facing, with head turned to the left, holding a long sceptre in his right hand and resting his left arm upon his hip. To the right of the figure, an eagle stands facing right with head turned back to the left, serving as the god's divine attribute. The composition reflects the local cult of Zeus Strategos venerated at Amastris, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Pontic civic bronzes of the Antonine era. |
