| Reverse description | Athena standing to the right in martial aspect, holding a spear in her right hand and bearing a shield on her left arm; she strikes down a serpent-footed Giant who raises a rock to hurl at her, a scene depicting the Gigantomachy. The composition reflects the civic pride of Seleucia ad Calycadnum and its claim to sacred and autonomous status, as proclaimed in the surrounding legend. The die work displays the robust, somewhat provincial style characteristic of Cilician Trachea bronze coinage under Hadrian. |
