| Reverse description | Aphrodite standing in full figure, facing left or slightly frontal, draped in a long chiton with fine drapery folds clearly visible, holding a long sceptre in one hand and a dove — the sacred bird of Aphrodite — in the other. The figure occupies the central field in a static, hieratic pose characteristic of provincial Anatolian coinage of the Neronian period. The Greek legend ΙΟΥΛΙΑ ΖΗΝΩΝΙΣ, naming the local magistrate or priestess Iulia Zenonis, appears in the field to the right. |
