| Reverse description | Full-length cult statue of Samian Hera standing facing right, adorned with a kalathos (cylindrical crown) upon her head and wearing a long chiton with fillets or ribbons hanging from her garments. The goddess extends both arms, holding a patera in each hand in a rigid, archaic xoanon-like pose, reflecting the venerable cult image housed in the Heraion of Samos. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. The reverse type is a faithful numismatic representation of the famous Samian Hera idol, a recurring and emblematic motif on the city's coinage throughout the Imperial period. |
