| Reverse description | Tetrastyle temple depicted in elevation, its four columns rising without an architrave, enclosing a cult statue of Zeus seated left upon a throne, holding a patera in his extended right hand and a long sceptre in his left. The pediment of the temple occasionally features a wreath as a decorative element. The civic ethnic legend ΒΡΟΥΖΗΝΩΝ is inscribed prominently in the field or exergue, identifying the issuing city of Bruzus. The architectural rendering is typical of the Phrygian provincial coinage tradition, emphasizing the city's principal sanctuary. |
