| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nude figure of Apollo standing en pointe, facing right, holding a bow in his extended left hand while reaching back with his right hand to draw an arrow from a quiver positioned at his shoulder. The deity is depicted in a dynamic, graceful pose characteristic of Hellenistic-inspired Apollo iconography frequently employed on Phrygian civic bronzes. The reverse legend naming the Synaeitans runs partially around the field, though the beginning of the inscription is lost, indicating a worn or off-center strike. The overall fabric and style are consistent with the civic bronze coinage of Synaus in the Conventus of Sardis. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Synaus was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Antoninus Pius reflects the broader Hadrianic reorganization of the Sardis conventus — the judicial district through which Rome administered western Anatolia. These small civic bronzes were struck not by imperial authority but by local magistrates, and the ethnikons inscribed on them were points of civic pride in towns that otherwise left almost no trace in the literary record. Synaus itself is known primarily through its coins and a handful of inscriptions.
