Reverse description Artemis, the patron deity of Ephesus, depicted standing erect within a biga drawn by two galloping stags moving to the right. The goddess is shown in her role as huntress, conveyed in dynamic motion across the field. The ethnic legend ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The composition reflects the deep cultic veneration of Artemis at Ephesus, a frequent reverse type on Ephesian provincial bronzes of the Antonine period.
