| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stepped altar occupies the central field, surmounted by the sacred conical image of Mount Argaeus — the holy mountain venerated at Caesarea in Cappadocia — depicted with radiating peaks and globular elements representing the volcanic summit. The date ΕΤ ΓΙ (year 13) is inscribed on the body of the altar. The surrounding legend names Caesarea as metropolis, distributed across the field and border. The composition reflects the distinctive local religious iconography of Cappadocian civic bronzes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Caesarea in Cappadocia held the rank of metropolis of the province and exercised the rare privilege of dating its civic bronze by its own local era — the era visible on the altar in this issue. That dating system, tied to the Caesarean civic calendar rather than regnal years, is what makes these pieces essential to scholars reconstructing the chronology of Cappadocian provincial coinage. The letters ΕΤ ΓΙ indicate year 13 of that local reckoning, placing the strike in the early 180s under Commodus.
