| Reverse description | Dionysus standing left, head turned right, his right hand extending a cantharus downward toward a panther at his feet, while his left hand holds a thyrsus. The god is depicted in the Hellenistic tradition associated with Tarsus, a city with strong Dionysiac cultic ties. The legend is distributed around the field, with civic title and date letters in the exergue and flanking areas. The composition reflects the syncretic religious iconography prevalent in Cilician provincial bronze coinage of the Trajanus Decius period. |
