| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nude figure of Apollo standing facing, with a quiver at his shoulder; his right hand is raised and rests upon the top of his head, while his left hand holds an uncertain object, possibly a flower or laurel branch. His left arm also rests upon a tripod entwined by a serpent, a common Apolline cult attribute. The reverse legend ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝ ΝΥϹΑΕΩΝ, meaning 'Apollo of the Nysaeans,' is disposed in the field around the deity, affirming the civic religious identity of the issuing city. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nysa-on-the-Maeander occupied an unusual position among Lydian cities — wealthy enough from its agricultural hinterland and proximity to major road routes to sustain a robust civic bronze coinage, yet consistently overshadowed in the numismatic record by its more prominent neighbors. The city's invocation of Apollo on civic issues during the Antonine period likely reflects the god's strong regional presence through the oracle at nearby Didyma, with which Nysa maintained active religious and commercial ties.
The conventus of Ephesus governed a sprawling administrative district, and civic minting rights within it were exercised selectively. That Nysa produced bronzes of this module under Antoninus Pius speaks to the city's sustained local autonomy during a period of otherwise tightening Roman provincial administration.
