| Reverse description | The river god Billaios reclines to the left in the classical personification type, his semi-nude figure supported on his left arm, which rests upon a pile of rocks. In his extended right hand he holds ears of corn, symbolizing agricultural fertility, while a long reed lies across his left arm. The deity's relaxed pose and identifying attributes reflect standard Hellenistic conventions for river god iconography as employed in Bithynian civic coinage. The ethnic legend ΚΡΗΤΙΕΩΝ ΒΙΛΛΕΟϹ is distributed in the field around the figure. |
