| Beschrijving keerzijde | Aeneas striding to the right, his head turned back to the left, clad in a short chiton. He carries his aged father Anchises upon his left arm and with his right hand leads his young son Ascanius forward, evoking the legendary flight from Troy. The scene is rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic bronzes, with the reverse legend disposed around the type in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apamea in Bithynia held the status of a Roman colony — Colonia Iulia — a designation it wore proudly on its civic coinage, often invoking senatorial permission through the D D (decreto decurionum) formula. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, which this piece commemorates, was among the most catastrophically destabilized periods in Roman history: Valerian was captured by the Sasanian king Shapur I at Edessa in 260 AD, the only Roman emperor ever taken prisoner by a foreign enemy. Gallienus ruled alone thereafter.
Provincial bronze of this colony is sparsely documented; X#86319 is not widely cross-referenced in major die studies.
