| Reverse description | A river god reclines to the left, his muscular form leaning on an overturned vase from which water flows. He holds a reed in one hand and a wreath in the other, iconographic attributes identifying him as a local river deity, likely the Hermos or Paktolos associated with Sardis. The scene is executed in the provincial bronze coinage tradition of Asia Minor. The encircling Greek legend in the field references the local magistrate and Sardis's neocorate status. |
