| Beschrijving keerzijde | A lion strides to the right across the reverse field, rendered with naturalistic vigor typical of Phrygian civic bronze coinage. To the right of the lion stands an upright thyrsus, the staff associated with Dionysiac cult. In the upper left field, a cista mystica — the sacred basket of the Dionysiac mysteries — is prominently displayed, underscoring the strong Dionysiac religious associations of Apamea Cibotus. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, names the local magistrate (strategos) Stratonikianos and identifies the issuing city as Apamea. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Stratonikeanos, whose name appears in the magistrate legend on this issue, held the position of strategos at Apamea during the opening years of Commodus's sole reign — the brief window after Marcus Aurelius died in March 180 and before the new emperor's erratic governance began alienating the senatorial class. Provincial bronze of this size from Apamea's Phrygian mint was produced entirely for local circulation; Rome struck nothing for these communities, leaving civic authorities to fund and organize their own coinage through magistrates who effectively underwrote the issues.
