| Reverse description | Artemis, the divine huntress, advances to the right in dynamic posture, grasping a stag by its antlers with both hands while pressing her knee firmly onto the animal's back to subdue it. The composition conveys vigorous movement and the goddess's dominance over the beast, consistent with the Ephesian cult of Artemis as mistress of animals. The reverse legend, inscribed in Greek, surrounds the figural group and identifies the civic pride of Ephesus as first city of Asia. |
