| Beschrijving keerzijde | A five-line Greek inscription filling the field within a laurel wreath tied at the base with a ribbon, commemorating the Didymeia Komodeia festival held under the magistracy of Aelius Protoleon during his second term of office. The wreath border is rendered with care, its leaves and berries clearly delineated, framing the civic honorific text. The outer exergual area carries the ethnic of Miletus. This reverse type is characteristic of Milesian civic bronze coinage celebrating local agonistic games linked to the sanctuary of Apollo at Didyma. |

The inscription ΤΟ Β marks this as issued during the second term of the magistrate Aelius Protoleon, an unusual detail that confirms the games festival funding this coin — the Didymeia Komodeia — ran across multiple administrative cycles. The Didymeia honored Apollo at the famous oracle sanctuary of Didyma just south of Miletus, while the Komodeia element linked the festival to comedy competitions, a combination that reflects the layered civic and religious programming typical of Ionian festival culture in the Antonine period.
178-179 AD places this squarely within Marcus Aurelius's Marcomannic Wars, when imperial attention was fixed on the Danubian frontier. Provincial festival coinage from Asia Minor continued without interruption — a reminder of how insulated the prosperous Aegean cities remained from northern military pressure.
