| Reverse description | The bearded river-god Hypios, eponymous deity of the local river, depicted reclining to the left in a languid pose characteristic of Hellenistic river-god iconography. He holds a leafy branch in his extended right hand and a cornucopia in his left arm, while his elbow rests upon an overturned water-urn from which water flows, symbolizing the river's source. The figure is rendered with typical provincial workmanship, the musculature broadly indicated. The Greek ethnic legend of the city of Prusias ad Hypium and the name of the deity appear in the field. |
