| Reverse description | Apollo, the dynastic deity of the Seleucid house, seated in three-quarter view to the left upon the sacred omphalos, his nude body rendered with Hellenistic elegance. In his extended right hand he holds an arrow, while his left hand rests upon a grounded bow at his side. The Greek royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the outer left and ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ to the outer right frames the central type. Monograms appear in the outer fields and in the exergue, serving as mint control marks characteristic of Seleukeia on the Tigris issues of this period. |
