| Reverse description | Bare-headed bust of Britannicus, son of Claudius, facing right, portrayed as a youth with short wavy hair and a delicate profile characteristic of juvenile Roman portraiture as adapted by Bosporan die-cutters. To the upper left of the bust appears a monogram or control mark within a square frame, rendered as ΕΑ or a similar ligature. Below the bust, the regnal date ΒΜΤ (representing year 342 of the Pontic Era, corresponding to 46 AD) is inscribed in Greek characters across the lower field. The overall style reflects the distinctive fusion of Hellenistic and Roman artistic conventions practiced at the Pantikapaion mint. |
