| Reverse description | A nude male deity, most likely Ares or a heroic figure, strides dynamically to the left, holding a spear or weapon in his extended right hand. A dog or lion crouches at his feet in the lower right field, adding a mythological dimension to the composition. The figure is depicted in the round, with musculature rendered in the Hellenistic tradition typical of Pontic civic bronzes. The ethnic legend ΑΜΑϹΤΡΙΑΝΩΝ, denoting the citizens of Amastris, is distributed around the field in Greek characters. The reverse border features a partial dotted circle, standard for provincial civic issues of this period. |
