| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, standing facing with head turned to the left, depicted in a long chiton and himation, holding his characteristic serpent-entwined staff (kerykeion) in his right hand. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial style, with the draped form clearly visible at centre field. The encircling Greek legend in the outer field proclaims Pergamum's coveted status as a twice-neocorate city, underscoring the city's religious and imperial prestige. |
