| Reverse description | The reverse displays a tall thyrsus — the staff of Dionysos — placed vertically at center, flanked on either side by a bunch of grapes and a rosette or floral ornament at its base. The circular Greek legend runs around the periphery of the field, naming the magistrate and civic authority. The composition is symmetrical and formally arranged, reflecting standard provincial bronze coinage iconography of the Antonine era. The surfaces show moderate wear and a green patina consistent with the bronze fabric. |
