| Reverse description | A lighted altar shown frontally at centre, with flames rising from the top, set upon a stepped base of two or three steps. The altar is rendered in a simple but recognisable schematic style characteristic of small Æ provincial coinage. The civic legend ΙΕΡΟΚΑΙϹΑΡΕΩΝ encircles the design, identifying the issuing community of Hierocaesarea. The overall composition reflects the religious importance of the altar cult in the city's civic identity. |
