| Beschrijving keerzijde | A standing male figure, identified tentatively as Menestheus, depicted facing left in full military dress, extending a patera over a lighted altar in his right hand and holding a sword in his left. A tree stands to the left of the composition, lending the scene a sacred or heroic character typical of Mysian provincial coinage. The encircling Greek legend names the local magistrate Dorylaos and the issuing city of Elaea. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Elaea, a small coastal city in the Aeolis region south of Pergamum, served primarily as the port town for Pergamum itself — its civic coinage was accordingly modest in volume and ambition. The magistrate name ΔΟΡΥΛΑΟΣ appears in the nominative across a handful of known types from this reign, suggesting a single concentrated issue rather than an ongoing series. Trajan Decius ruled barely two years before dying at the Battle of Abrittus in 251 AD, the first Roman emperor killed in battle against a foreign enemy, which cut short provincial coinage programs across the eastern mints.
