Beschrijving keerzijde The infant Zeus is depicted seated facing on a low stool or throne, his nude infant body rendered frontally at the centre of the field. Surrounding him are three Corybantes shown in dynamic dancing poses, each brandishing a sword and raising a shield — an allusion to the myth in which the Corybantes protected the infant Zeus from discovery by Kronos through the clashing of their weapons. The composition reflects the local religious iconography of Hadrianeia in Mysia, where this myth held particular civic significance. The reverse legend, naming the local magistrate and the city of the Hadrianeians, is disposed around the figural group.

Aanvullende informatie

Hadrianeia, a small Mysian city granted the honorific title of "Hadrianeia" after the emperor who refounded or elevated it in the early second century, was one of dozens of minor Asia Minor mints that effectively ceased striking civic bronze within a generation of this coin's production. The magistrate name preserved in the legend — Μ. Ουλπ. Μάζιμος — follows the Ulpian nomenclature common among families enfranchised under Trajan, suggesting civic elite continuity across more than a century by Philip's reign.

The conventus of Adramyteum to which Hadrianeia belonged was administratively subordinate to the proconsul of Asia. Civic coinage from this conventus under Philip I is sparse, and the archon Mazimos appears in only a handful of recorded dies.
