| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fully open rose blossom depicted in plan view occupies the central field, its five broad petals with curved outlines and a prominent seed-head at the centre rendered in bold relief, serving as the civic emblem of Rhodes. The magistrate's name ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΔΗΣ is inscribed in Greek letters around the upper portion of the field, distributed to either side of the rose. A single grain ear is placed in the lower field below the blossom. The entire design is enclosed within a circle of pellets forming a beaded border, a hallmark of late Rhodian drachm coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhodes lost its independence as a free port in 167 BC when Rome transferred its Aegean trade privileges to Delos, devastating the island's economy. This drachm series, struck roughly a century later, belongs to the civic recovery coinage issued under the authority of named magistrates — the Basileides named here being one of dozens of eponymous officials whose identities remain almost entirely obscure beyond their appearance on coin legends. Ashton and Weiss catalogued this magistrate series exhaustively, distinguishing issues by die linkage rather than by any surviving documentary record.
