| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, depicted with a characteristically long and wide beard, clad in cuirass and paludamentum, the figure presented from a rear three-quarter perspective. The obverse legend encircles the portrait, rendered in Latin characters. The bust treatment reflects the mature provincial die-cutting style of Mysia during the Commodan period, with bold relief and expressive facial detail. The inscription contains a notable error in the imperial titulature, reading CAI for the expected abbreviation of Caesar. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Parium, a Roman colony on the southern shore of the Propontis, held colonial status from at least the Augustan period and guarded its right to produce bronze coinage accordingly. The city's coins from the Commodan years were struck during a window when the emperor's cult pretensions were escalating sharply — by 192 he had renamed Rome itself "Colonia Lucia Annia Commodiana" and the months of the year after his own titles, several of which appear abbreviated in this coin's legend.
The magistrate abbreviation sequence C G I H P likely reflects a local duoviral or colonial administrative formula, though the precise officeholders behind these initials remain unresolved in the epigraphic record.
