| Beschrijving keerzijde | Apollo standing to the right with his right hand raised, positioned before a tripod upon which rests a lyre; a serpent coils around the base of the tripod, a motif strongly associated with Apollo's oracular and prophylactic attributes. The composition is a standard Apolline type favoured by cities of the Carian conventus. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, records the local magistrate responsible for the coin's issue. The strike is somewhat uneven, characteristic of this provincial mint's output. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Neapolis ad Harpasum was a minor Carian city whose civic coinage depended entirely on the goodwill of a local magistrate willing to fund a bronze issue — the magistrate name preserved in this legend, Aurelius Candidus, is otherwise unattested in the epigraphic record. The grammateus, or secretary, bore administrative responsibility for the issue, a civic office that in third-century Caria carried real financial exposure, not merely ceremonial title.
The Conventus of Alabanda grouped smaller Carian communities for Roman judicial administration, and civic bronzes from these satellite towns are considerably scarcer than those of Alabanda itself.
