| Reverse description | A standing female deity, possibly Aphrodite or a local city goddess, depicted facing with head turned to the right. She holds a club in one hand and an apple (or globus) in the other, attributes that may conflate Heracles' club with Aphrodite's apple in reference to the city's mythological heritage. The figure is rendered in the provincial style typical of Pontic civic bronzes of the Severan-Gordian period, with the encircling Greek legend identifying the issuing city. |
