| Reverse description | Hades and Persephone seated together in a quadriga racing to the right, a mythological scene referencing the abduction of Persephone and frequently employed on civic bronzes of Carian cities. The four horses are depicted in dynamic motion, with the figures of the deities rendered above the horses' backs. The ethnic legend of the issuing city appears in the field or exergue. The overall composition reflects the Hellenistic artistic tradition maintained in provincial coinage of the Flavian era. |
