| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of the poet Homer facing right, wearing a taenia (headband) binding his long hair, rendered in the conventional bearded portrait type associated with the blind bard. The bust is depicted with a short beard and flowing drapery visible at the truncation. The Greek legend ΟΜΗΡΟϹ appears in the field, identifying the figure. The die work is characteristic of the provincial bronze coinage of Amastris in the Severan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amastris, a coastal city on the Black Sea originally founded as a synoikism of four smaller settlements by the Macedonian princess Amastris around 300 BC, maintained its own civic bronze coinage well into the imperial period. The magistrate name ΜΕΛΗϹ appearing on this issue is locally specific — not an imperial appointment but a civic official whose tenure helps narrow the sequence of Amastrian bronzes within the Severan decades.
