| Beschrijving keerzijde | Apollo Klarios seated left upon an omphalos or throne, holding a laurel branch in his right hand and a lyre in his left, flanked by two standing deities: Artemis to the left, holding a sceptre and quiver, and Nemesis to the right, drawing out a fold of her drapery with her right hand and holding a cubit rule. The composition is a celebrated type associated with the oracular sanctuary of Apollo at Claros, near Colophon. The reverse legend naming the local strategos frames the scene, with the ethnic ΚΟΛΟΦΩΝΙΩΝ identifying the issuing civic authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Colophon, one of the ancient Ionian cities that had long faded from political relevance by the third century AD, continued striking bronze coinage under the joint reign of Valerian I and his son Gallienus — one of the few father-son co-emperorship arrangements in Roman history. The strategos named in the legend, Popilius Severinus, was the presiding civic magistrate responsible for authorizing the issue, a detail that pins this coin to a specific administrative moment in an otherwise poorly-documented provincial mint.
