| Reverse description | Winged Nemesis standing to the left in full figure, her right hand raised to pluck her chiton at the neckline in the characteristic gesture of disdain toward the arrogant, while her left hand holds a cubit rule (measuring rod). A wheel, her additional attribute symbolizing the inexorable turning of fate, is placed at her feet to the lower left. The composition follows the standard Smyrnaean civic reverse type for Nemesis, patron goddess of the city. The ethnic legend of the Smyrneans encircles the field. |
