| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Achilles facing right, wearing an Attic helmet adorned with a Pegasus device on the bowl. The portrait is rendered in a classical Hellenistic style with fine detail on the facial features and neck drapery. The encircling legend ΑΧΙΛΛΕΟΥC appears in the field around the bust. The overall style is consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the Trajanic-Hadrianic period issued by the Thessalian Koinon. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck under the Koinon of Thessaly during the reign of Hadrian, this small bronze belongs to a regional federal coinage that self-consciously invoked Thessaly's mythological claim to Achilles — the hero was traditionally born at Phthia, firmly within Thessalian territory. Hadrian's philhellenism made this kind of cultural assertion politically convenient, and the Koinon exploited the moment. The magistrate name Nikomachos appears across several denominations of this series, anchoring the issue to a specific administrative moment within the broader Hadrianic provincial framework.
