| Reverse description | A Capricorn — the mythical sea-goat emblematic of Augustus and adopted as an imperial symbol — is depicted striding to the right, its fish-tail curving beneath its hindquarters. The creature is rendered in the compact, stylised manner characteristic of provincial bronze coinage of the Flavian period. The Greek legend ΑΜΙΣΟΥ ΕΤΟΥΣ ΑΡ ('of Amisus, year 131') surrounds the type, providing both the civic mint attribution and a local era date corresponding to 69–70 CE. |
