| Reverse description | Diademed and draped bust of the Roman emperor facing right, rendered in the Bosporan provincial style, occupying the central field of the flan. The reverse legend ΘΙΧ appears in the field, representing the Bosporan era year 619, corresponding to AD 322/323. The design reflects the customary Bosporan practice of depicting the reigning Roman emperor on the reverse as an expression of political allegiance. The overall execution is characteristic of late Bosporan hammered bronze coinage, with irregular flan shape and worn die details. |
