| Reverse description | Draped bust of Chrysippos, the celebrated Stoic philosopher, facing right, with his right hand raised to touch his beard in a characteristic gesture of contemplation. The portrait features a bearded, mature male with curling hair and draped garment, rendered in the conventional honorific style of Hellenistic intellectual portraiture as reproduced on provincial Roman coinage. The encircling Greek legend in the field identifies the city and civic era date. The reverse honours the philosopher's connection to Cilicia, as Chrysippos was born at Soli, a city near Pompeiopolis. |
