Beschrijving keerzijde Two nude athletes stand facing one another on either side of a prize urn. The athlete on the right holds a palm branch in his left hand and raises his right hand to crown himself, while the athlete on the left deposits a pebble into the urn between them. Above and between the figures, a prize wreath or crown is depicted, signifying an agonistic context. The scene alludes to local games held at Synnada, rendered in the conventional provincial agonistic iconography of Asia Minor.

Aanvullende informatie

Synnada, a Phrygian city best known in antiquity for its quarries of *marmor Synnadicum* — the white-and-purple pavonazzetto marble prized by Roman emperors for palace floors and sarcophagi — struck civic bronze coinage under local magistrates well into the third century. The archon name preserved in this issue's legend, Kelsos, anchors it administratively to a city still functioning with considerable autonomy during Gallienus's sole reign, a period when the empire was simultaneously hemorrhaging territory to the Gallic Empire in the west and the Palmyrene breakaway in the east.

Civic bronze production in the Conventus of Synnada effectively ceased shortly after Gallienus, making late magistrate-named issues from this mint among the last artifacts of Greek-style civic coinage in the region.
