| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bacchus (Dionysus) standing left in full figure, nude or lightly draped, extending a cantharus (drinking vessel) downward toward a panther at his feet, with a thyrsus or vine held in his other hand. The deity is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage of the mid-third century. A circular Latin legend naming the colonial status of Apamea surrounds the central type, with the authorizing abbreviation D D (decreto decurionum) completing the inscription. A small central test hole is visible in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apamea in Bithynia held the status of a Roman colony — unusual for the region — and its civic coinage under Trajan Decius reflects that standing through the colonial formula in the legend. The abbreviation D D, standing for decreto decurionum, indicates the issue was authorized by formal vote of the local senate, a procedural detail that distinguishes municipal accountability from imperial mint production.
Trajan Decius ruled less than two years before dying at the Battle of Abritus in 251 AD, the first Roman emperor killed in battle against a foreign enemy.
