| Reverse description | Artemis, the patron goddess of Ephesus, depicted as huntress driving a biga drawn by two stags galloping to the right. The goddess is shown in dynamic motion, drawing an arrow from a quiver slung at her shoulder while holding a bow in her extended hand, a composition emblematic of Ephesian civic pride. The reverse legend ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ, inscribed in the field, proclaims the civic identity of the issuing authority. This reverse type, celebrating Artemis in her role as divine huntress, is a hallmark of Ephesian provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period. |
