| Reverse description | Hades (Pluto) and Persephone (Kore) depicted together in a quadriga racing to the right, a mythological scene alluding to the Rape of Persephone and closely associated with the chthonic cults of Caria. The four horses are shown in full gallop, and the two divine figures are rendered in the chariot with dynamic composition. The ethnic legend ΟΡΘΩϹΙΕΩΝ curves around the field, identifying the issuing city of Orthosia. The overall style is characteristic of the provincial bronzes struck in the Conventus of Alabanda during the Flavian period. |
