| Beschrijving keerzijde | Confronted busts of the co-ruling Roman emperors: the cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Lucius Verus, bare-headed, facing right, juxtaposed with the bare head of Marcus Aurelius facing left. A symbol — dot, spear, or star depending on die variety — appears in the field between the two portraits, serving as a distinguishing mark among the known emission groups. The composition reflects the Bosporan kingdom's formal acknowledgment of Roman imperial co-rule, rendered in the distinctive local hammered style within a beaded border. |

The Bosporan kingdom operated as a client state of Rome, and this stater — issued under King Eupator — reflects that relationship directly: Bosporan gold coinage of this period routinely paired the reigning king with the current Roman emperor or co-emperors as a declaration of political allegiance. In 167, Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius were jointly conducting the Parthian War, and Eupator's acknowledgment of both rulers simultaneously was calculated diplomacy, not ceremonial habit.
Eupator's reign was itself a Roman restoration — he had been reinstalled on the Bosporan throne by Rome around 154 AD after a period of dynastic instability.
