| Reverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Aspurgus, King of the Bosporan Kingdom, facing right, wearing a laurel wreath and a cuirass visible at the shoulder. To the left of the bust, the Greek legend ΒΑΡ (abbreviation for ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ, 'of the King') appears in two lines with the regnal year notation ΑΙΤ (year 311 of the Bosporan era, corresponding to 15 AD) below. The portrait exhibits a robust, individualized style reflecting both Hellenistic and Roman influences characteristic of Bosporan dynastic coinage. |
