| Beschrijving keerzijde | The river god Maeandros depicted as a reclining male figure turned to the left, his lower limbs draped in a himation. He holds a reed in his raised right hand and a cornucopia in his left, while his left arm rests upon an overturned urn from which water flows, symbolising the river's source. The composition follows the standard Hellenistic iconographic convention for personified river deities employed widely in the coinage of cities along the Maeander valley. The ethnic legend of Antioch ad Maeandrum appears in the field. |

Antioch on the Maeander was a small Carian city whose civic coinage under Trajan reflects the broader reorganization of the conventus system in Asia Minor during the early second century. The river god Maeander — namesake of the famously serpentine river — held particular civic importance here, distinguishing this Antioch from its far more prominent Syrian namesake in a way that local magistrates clearly felt worth advertising on bronze.
