| Reverse description | Standing male figure, likely Zeus or Ares, depicted in a dynamic pose facing left with arm raised, possibly hurling a thunderbolt or carrying a sceptre. The figure is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with naturalistic musculature. Greek legend divided in two columns flanking the figure, reading AΠAMEΩΝ to the left and ΣΩKPATOY to the right, identifying the civic authority of Apameia and the magistrate Sokrates. The coin exhibits heavy green patina typical of bronze issues from the Syrian region. |
