| Beschrijving keerzijde | Demeter standing facing left, clad in long chiton and himation, her right hand extended downward holding ears of grain and poppies, attributes emblematic of her role as goddess of the harvest and fertility. The figure is rendered in a simple but legible provincial style, with the goddess occupying the central field. The magistrate's name inscription, partially garbled in the die, appears around the field. The reverse type reflects the agricultural importance of Demeter to the civic religious identity of Alabanda in Caria. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alabanda, a city in Caria whose inhabitants were mocked by Cicero in De Oratore for their cultural pretensions, struck this issue under the magistrate whose name appears on the obverse in an unusually garbled form — the sic notations on both ΑΝ and Ι signal a cutter either working from dictation or poorly copying an unfamiliar name. Provincial bronze of this region was engraved locally, and lapses in Greek epigraphy on Carian civic issues are not uncommon, but a double sic on a single magistrate's name is worth noting.
