| Beschrijving keerzijde | A tetrastyle temple with four columns depicted in elevation, within which stands Cybele, the Anatolian mother goddess, shown facing and wearing a kalathos (turreted crown), flanked by two lions seated at her sides. The architectural framing of the cult statue reflects the importance of the Cybele sanctuary at Attuda and the city's civic pride in its religious traditions. The reverse legend, distributed in segments around the design, names the magistrate Rufus Polydas (Antonius) and the civic ethnic of the Attudeans. The die-engraving displays the robust, somewhat provincial style typical of Carian bronze issues under the Severan dynasty. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Attuda was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage depended almost entirely on the prestige of whoever held the local magistracy — the ΕΠΙΜΕΛΗΤΗΣ named on this piece, Rufus Polydas Antonianus, was almost certainly a wealthy citizen financing the issue himself, as was standard practice in the conventus system under Rome. Provincial bronzes of this size were not general circulation pieces; a 44mm flan at this weight functioned more as a civic statement than a transactional coin.
The conventus of Alabanda grouped geographically scattered Carian and Phrygian communities for Roman judicial and administrative purposes, and Attuda's output under Severus is sparse.
