| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed bust of Marcus Aurelius as Caesar, facing right, with short beard and curly hair rendered in the naturalistic Antonine style. The truncation of the shoulders is visible at the lower field. A Greek legend encircles the effigy, reading ΑΥΡΗΛΙΟϹ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ, identifying the portrait as the heir and Caesar under Antoninus Pius. The die work reflects the provincial engraving tradition of Ionian civic coinage, with modelling of facial features characteristic of the mid-second century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Erythrae was a coastal Ionian city that had long traded on its association with the Erythraean Sibyl, one of antiquity's most politically useful oracles. The magistrate named in this coin's legend, Kl. Sekoundos, served as strategos under the provincial governor during a period when Smyrna's conventus cities competed aggressively for imperial favor — minting large civic bronzes being one of the more visible ways to signal loyalty and local prestige. Antoninus Pius never visited Asia Minor, which gave these provincial issues an almost performative quality: declarations directed at an emperor who would never see the city that made them.
