| Reverse description | The river god Lykos reclines to the left in the conventional manner of personified watercourses, his semi-nude figure resting upon an overturned vase from which water flows freely. He holds a reed in one hand, emblematic of riparian divinity, while before him a bull grazes to the right, a totemic animal associated with the river cult. A tree rises in the background field, adding landscape depth to the composition. The encircling Greek legend names the local strategos Marcus Aurelius Phaeinos, serving in his second term, and identifies the issuing city as Thyateira. The overall reverse composition reflects the well-established iconographic tradition of river-god types on Lydian civic bronzes of the third century AD. |
