| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two nude children depicted in playful stance, engaged with astragali (knucklebones), positioned facing one another in the central field. In the background between the figures stands a cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus in her characteristic frontally rendered, multi-breasted form, flanked by a crescent and a star. The reverse legend ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ arcs around the design, identifying the issuing city. The composition reflects the strong local religious identity of Ephesus as the principal seat of the cult of Artemis. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ephesus retained extraordinary mint activity under Septimius Severus in part because of the city's role as the administrative seat of the conventus — the Roman assize district that made it the judicial and commercial hub of western Asia Minor. Provincial bronzes from this city circulated locally rather than reaching the imperial treasury, funding civic operations and religious festivals rather than legions.
V.2#886 is a relatively scarce variety within the Severan Ephesian series.
