| Reverse description | Standing female divinity, veiled and draped, facing left, identified tentatively as Demeter or Hera, holding a branch in her extended right hand and a long sceptre in her left. The figure is rendered in a static, hieratic pose typical of provincial bronze coinage of the Antonine period. The city ethnic legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕωΝ (of the Prusaeans) is inscribed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Prusa ad Olympum in Bithynia. The reverse type may reflect a local civic cult associated with this Bithynian city. |
