| Beschrijving keerzijde | Athena standing facing left in full figure, clad in a long chiton and aegis, holding a spear in her right hand and a shield at her left side. The goddess is rendered in the classicizing provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage of the Severan era. The ethnic legend ΠΡΟΥϹΙΕΩΝ ΠΡΟϹ ΥΠΙΩ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Prusias ad Hypium. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical green and brown patination consistent with prolonged burial. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Prusias ad Hypium occupied a commercially active position on the Lycus River in Bithynia, and the city minted aggressively under Septimius Severus — likely in response to the civil wars of 193 AD that saw Severus defeat Pescennius Niger, whose support base lay heavily in the eastern provinces. Civic bronzes of this period functioned as local political endorsements as much as currency, and Prusias was conspicuously quick to align itself with the eventual victor.
