| Reverse description | Cult statue of Kore (Persephone) standing facing, depicted in close-fitting drapery with a kalathos (basket) atop her head, rendered in the stiff hieratic style characteristic of Sardian sacred imagery. In the left field, a star above a wheat ear; in the right field, a crescent above a poppy flower, emblems of the goddess's chthonic and agricultural attributes. The encircling legend CAΡΔIANΩN · · BNЄΩKOΡΩN identifies the city of Sardis in its capacity as twice neokoros. The reverse type reflects the strong local cult of Kore-Persephone at Sardes. |
