| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙΣΑΡΙ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΩ ΟΥΕΣΠΑΣΙΑΝΩ ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟΠΟ (Translation: to Emperor Caesar Augustus Vespasian, of the Claudiopolitans) |
| Reverse description | The reverse bears a four-line Greek honorific inscription set within an olive or laurel wreath, naming Marcus Plancius Varus in his capacity as proconsul of Bithynia and Pontus. The wreath enclosure is a common compositional device on provincial civic bronzes of the Imperial period, lending formal dignity to the magistrate's name. The field surrounding the wreath is plain, and the flan surface shows the characteristic roughness of a heavily worn provincial bronze. |
