| Reverse description | Zeus enthroned to the left, his seminude figure draped from the waist, holding a thunderbolt in his outstretched right hand and a tall sceptre in his left; a standing eagle is depicted to the left of the throne, facing right toward the deity. The composition reflects the standard provincial Bithynian type associating imperial authority with the supreme Olympian deity. The ethnic legend ΙΟΥΛΙΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ is arranged around the periphery of the field. |
