| Reverse description | Aeneas striding to the right, head turned back over his left shoulder, clad in a short military chiton. He carries his aged father Anchises on his left arm and leads his young son Ascanius by the right hand, depicting the celebrated scene of the flight from Troy. This Trojan ancestry type was commonly employed by Apamean colonial coinage to emphasize its mythological Roman heritage, and the figures are rendered in typical provincial style within an unadorned field. |
