| Reverse description | The Roman emperor, identified as Gallienus, depicted on horseback galloping vigorously to the right, his right arm raised and extended in a thrusting spearing action. The equestrian figure is rendered in a dynamic martial pose typical of provincial honorific coinage of the sole reign period. A Greek inscription encircles the field, naming the local archon Stratonikos and identifying the issuing city of Aphrodisias. The coin surface bears a dark olive-brown patina consistent with long burial, with moderate wear and encrustation obscuring finer die details. |
