Beschrijving keerzijde Ares, nude and helmeted, depicted standing to the left in a martial pose characteristic of Greek provincial coinage under Trajan. The god holds a spear in his right hand and a trophy (tropaion) in his left, symbolising military victory — an iconographic choice likely referencing Trajan's Dacian campaigns. The figure is rendered in the robust, somewhat schematic style typical of Lydian civic bronzes. A Greek imperial titulature legend encircles the reverse field.

Aanvullende informatie

Tripolis on the Maeander — not to be confused with the more prominent Tripolis in Lydia proper — was a minor polis whose civic coinage under the Conventus of Sardis reflects Roman administrative consolidation of the Maeander valley. The epithet ΔΑΚΙΚΟϹ dates this issue no earlier than 102 AD, when Trajan formally assumed that title following his first Dacian campaign. Whether the city was celebrating the victory on its own initiative or responding to imperial expectation is unresolved, but provincials throughout Asia Minor adopted the title rapidly in those years.
