| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two Dioscuri stand facing right at left, each armed with a long spear held upright; to the right, Ares stands facing left, clad in military attire and holding a spear. The composition presents a triad of martial deities arranged symmetrically within the field. The encircling Greek legend names the dedicant and the civic community of Metropolis, indicating this issue was dedicated by a local magistrate or benefactor identified as Poplios Strate. The reverse type underscores the Hellenic religious traditions maintained in the Ionian provincial coinage of the Antonine period. |

The dedication legend ΠΟΠΛΙΟϹ ϹΤΡΑΤΗ ΑΝΕΘΗΚΕΝ identifies the magistrate responsible for this issue — a local official named Poplios Strate, whose name reflects the deep Romanization of Ionian civic elites by the mid-second century. Metropolis was a minor city in the Cayster valley, perpetually overshadowed by Ephesus, and these civic bronzes were essentially tools of local prestige as much as currency. The magistrate's name on the coin was the point.
Antoninus Pius actively encouraged provincial coinage across the Greek East, and his reign saw a marked increase in civic bronze production throughout Ionia.
