| Beschrijving keerzijde | The river god Axos depicted as a reclining male figure turned to the left, his body semi-recumbent in the conventional Hellenistic personification of a river deity. He holds a reed in one hand and rests his arm upon an overturned water urn from which water flows, symbolising the river's source. The Greek legend ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡΑ ΤΕΛΕϹΦΟΡΟΥ / ΕΡΥΘΡΑΙΩΝ is distributed around the field and in the exergual area, recording the name of the local magistrate Telesphoros who served as strategos of Erythrae. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Erythrae was a coastal Ionian city of middling importance by the imperial period, but its civic coinage under Septimius Severus was administered through the conventus of Smyrna — the regional assize district that grouped smaller cities under a shared judicial and administrative framework. The magistrate named in the legend, Telesphoros, held the office of strategos, the highest civic magistracy responsible for overseeing local coin production. His name appearing so prominently reflects the Severan-era practice of civic pride through magistrate attribution, not unlike a local politician buying his name onto a public building.
