| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Isis standing left, robed in long garments characteristic of her Hellenized iconography. She holds a sistrum raised in her right hand and a situla (sacred water bucket) in her lowered left hand, emblematic of her role as a deity of fertility and the Nile. The encircling ethnic legend ΙΕΡΑΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ runs around the periphery of the field, framed by a dotted border. The type reflects the strong Egyptian religious influence prevalent in Phrygian civic coinage of the Roman imperial period. |
