| Reverse description | Mên, the Anatolian lunar deity, stands facing with head turned to the left, wearing the characteristic Phrygian cap adorned with a crescent. The god holds a spear in one hand and extends a patera over a small lighted altar in the other. The composition reflects the prominent local veneration of Mên at Iuliopolis, a cult centre of significance in Bithynia. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is inscribed in the field. |
