| Reverse description | Turreted Amazon Smyrna, the eponymous founder of the city, seated to the left upon a throne or rock. She holds a patera in her extended right hand and a double axe (labrys) in her left, with her arm resting upon a pelta (crescent-shaped Amazon shield). The magistrate's inscription appears in the left field, identifying the strategos Claudius Proclus Sophistes. The composition reflects standard Smyrnaean civic iconography honouring the city's mythological Amazon ancestress. |
