| Reverse description | Dionysus stands facing with head turned to the left, his body rendered in the classical contrapposto manner typical of Antonine and Severan provincial coinage. In his right hand he holds a long, ivy-wreathed thyrsus, while his left extends a cantharus downward toward a panther positioned at his feet to the lower left, the animal looking back toward the deity. The composition reflects the strong Dionysiac civic identity of Nysa, a city that proudly claimed association with the god's mythological nurture. The reverse legend encircles the design in Greek, recording the name of the local grammateus under whose magistracy the coin was struck. |
