| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΝΤ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Marcus Antonius Gordianus) |
| Reverse description | Zeus Larasios, the principal deity of Tralles, enthroned to the left, holding a Nike in his extended right hand and a long sceptre in his left; before him stand the two Nemeses of Smyrna, facing frontally, personifying the homonoia theme of the issue. The composition celebrates the formal alliance and civic concord between the cities of Tralles and Smyrna. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, records the name of the grammateus Julius Eucarpus under whose authority the issue was struck. The scene is rendered in the vigorous, deeply struck style characteristic of high-quality Lydian provincial coinage of the Gordian III period. |
