| Reverse description | The emperor, clad in full military attire including cuirass and paludamentum, stands facing left in a commanding pose. In his extended right hand he holds a small figure of Nike (Victory), who typically faces left with wings spread, while his left hand rests upon a long spear or scepter. The composition conveys imperial authority and martial prowess in the tradition of provincial honorific coinage. The Greek legend ΒΙΘΥΝΙΕΩΝ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΩΝ is distributed across the reverse field within a beaded border, identifying the issuing city of Bithynium-Claudiopolis. |
