| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the winged goddess of Victory, standing in a quadriga of four horses galloping to the left, holding the reins with both hands and wielding a whip. The composition conveys dynamic movement, with the horses rendered in profile and Nike's wings spread prominently behind her. The city ethnic ΑΜΟΡΙΑΝΩΝ appears in the upper field, while the name of the local magistrate Elpidophoros is inscribed in the exergue within a rectangular tablet, all enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amorium was a Phrygian city of middling political weight, but its civic coinage under Septimius Severus reflects the scramble among provincial cities to demonstrate loyalty during the civil wars of 193 AD — the Year of the Four Emperors. The magistrate named in the legend, Elpidephoros, was a local official whose title and tenure are otherwise unattested; his name survives only through coins of this type.
The Conventus of Synnada administered a broad swath of interior Anatolia, and Amorium's issues were struck for local exchange rather than wide circulation. Die-linked specimens occasionally surface from the same magistracy, suggesting a short, concentrated emission.
