| Reverse description | Turreted Cybele, the great mother goddess and civic deity of Phocaea, depicted standing to the left in a frontal composition. She holds a patera in one hand and a tympanum in the other, her standard divine attributes in Anatolian and Greek religious iconography. She is flanked on either side by a seated lion, animals sacred to her cult, reinforcing her identity as Mater Magna. The ethnic legend ΦΩΚΑΕΩΝ, meaning 'of the Phocaeans', is inscribed in the field, asserting the civic identity of the issuing authority. |
