Reverse description A merchant or war galley under full sail advances to the right, with a rectangular sail set on a central mast, oars extending along the hull suggesting rowers at work, and a helmsman stationed at the stern. The scene commemorates the arrival of a fleet at Miletus (ΚΑΤΑΠΛΟΥϹ ΜΙΛΗϹΙΩΝ, meaning 'the arrival by sea at Miletus'), a rare and historically significant reverse type for this civic issue. The multi-line Greek legend is distributed around and within the field, referencing the archon Gnaeus Verus Theogenes Poplas under whose authority the coin was struck.
