Beschrijving keerzijde The river god Karmios (Carmius) reclines to the left in a languid pose typical of personified river deities in Greco-Roman provincial numismatic art. He holds a cornucopia in one arm, symbolising abundance, while his other arm rests upon an overturned vase from which water flows freely, representing the river's source. The figure is rendered in the conventional Hellenistic manner for river gods. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, identifies the issuing city and the presiding magistrate Amiantos.

Aanvullende informatie

Hadrianopolis in Phrygia — not to be confused with the better-known Thracian city — was a minor civic mint whose output under the Severan dynasty was modest and geographically constrained in its circulation. The magistrate name ΑΜΙΑΝΤΟϹ preserved in the legend is one of the few records of this individual's existence; provincial bronze was often the only medium through which local officials left any trace in the historical record.

The Conventus of Philomelium grouped several small Phrygian communities for administrative and assizes purposes under Roman provincial organization. Issues attributed to this conventus are thinly represented in major collections.
