| 裏面の説明 | Confronted jugate busts of the co-ruling Roman emperors: the bare-headed, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Lucius Verus facing right, and the bare head of Marcus Aurelius facing left, presented as facing busts in the Bosporan dynastic tradition. The date monogram ΗΝΥ, corresponding to the Bosporan era year 459 (= 162 AD), appears in the field. The composition reflects the formal recognition of the Roman imperial college by the Bosporan client kingdom. |

The Bosporan Kingdom occupied a peculiar diplomatic position in the Roman world — nominally independent, but in practice a client state whose rulers required Roman approval to reign. The dual portrait type referencing both Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius reflects the awkward co-emperorship that began in 161 AD, the only time Rome had ever formally invested two men with equal imperial authority. Bosporan kings had every political reason to advertise their alignment with both.
Eupator ruled the Cimmerian Bosporus from roughly 154 to 170 AD, and his gold staters represent the tail end of a long tradition of blending Greek coinage conventions with Roman dynastic loyalty.
