| Reverse description | Dionysus, draped and holding a thyrsus in his left hand, is depicted seated upon a panther advancing to the right; his right arm rests upon the animal's back in a relaxed pose. The composition is typical of Dionysiac imagery on provincial coinage of Asia Minor, evoking the god's association with the panther as his sacred beast. The reverse legend, disposed around the field, names the local archon Flavius Proklos and the civic authority of the Abydans, a standard formula for magistrate-issue provincial bronzes of this period. |
