| Reverse description | Diademed head of Artemis Soteira facing right, her hair arranged with careful detail and adorned with a diadem; she wears a pendant earring and a pearl necklace, emphasising her divine and regal character. The epithet ΣΩTEIPA (Saviour) inscribed in the field identifies the deity in her protective aspect, a title of particular significance during the turbulent reign of Agathocles. The portrait displays the refined Hellenistic engraving style associated with the Syracusan mint, with a graceful neck truncation and finely modelled facial profile. |
