| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fully open rose bloom shown from above occupies the centre of the field, rendered with broad, deeply incised petals in the hallmark emblem of Rhodes. To the right of the stem rises a budding rose branch, while to the left appear two secondary devices: a bow in its bowcase and a tripod. The magistrate's name ΓΟΡΓΟΣ is inscribed in Greek letters along the upper periphery, with the abbreviated ethnic ΡΟ placed in the lower field, identifying the issuing city of Rhodes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gorgos served as a magistrate responsible for overseeing Rhodes' coinage during a politically fraught period — the years immediately following the Second Macedonian War, when Rhodes was navigating alliances with Rome while maintaining its position as the dominant commercial and naval power in the eastern Aegean. The island's mint was prolific in this era, with individual magistrate names providing the primary tool for die-sequence dating, a system Richard Ashton spent decades systematizing.
Ashton 289 places this issue within a tightly defined group. The die linkage studies underlying that classification remain the most reliable chronological framework for Rhodian silver of this period.
