| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Commodus with short beard, draped in paludamentum and cuirass, facing three-quarters right; the emperor is depicted in a frontal presentation typical of provincial bronze coinage. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. The portraiture reflects the official Commodan portrait type employed at eastern provincial mints during the early years of his reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Scepsis was a minor Troad city that claimed an extraordinary distinction: it was said to be the site where the library of Aristotle was hidden after his death, buried in a pit to prevent seizure by the Attalid kings, and only recovered — badly damaged — some two centuries later. The city's attachment to Zeus Idaios reflects the sacred geography of Mount Ida directly to its south, where the god was worshipped at peak sanctuaries throughout the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
The epithet ϹΚΗΨΙ ΔΑΡΔΑΝ — Zeus of Scepsis and Dardanos — signals a deliberate cultic pairing between two neighboring communities, an arrangement likely tied to shared festival obligations under the conventus system.
