| Reverse description | Helmeted figure of Roma seated left upon a throne, holding a Nike in her extended right hand and a transverse spear in her left; a shield leans against the seat at her side. The composition reflects a standard personification type widely employed in the civic coinage of Lydian cities under the Antonine emperors. The reverse legend naming the local archon Titianos and the civic ethnic of Saitta is disposed in the field around the figure. |
