| Reverse description | Nude Apollo standing facing, head turned to the left, raising his right hand to rest upon the top of his head in a contemplative pose, while his left arm rests upon a tall tripod entwined by a serpent. A lyre is depicted at his feet to the left, serving as an additional divine attribute. The composition is a canonical representation of Apollo as god of prophecy and music, consistent with Lydian civic bronzes of the Antonine era. The Greek magistrate legend ΕΠΙ ΑΙΛ ΠΑΙΩΝΙΟΥ ΓΡ appears in the field, recording the name of the local official responsible for the issue. |
