| Reverse description | A river god reclines to the left in a relaxed pose, holding a reed in his extended right hand and a cornucopia in his left hand. His left arm rests upon an overturned urn from which water flows, a canonical iconographic element identifying the deity as a personification of a local river, likely the Cayster or Maeander associated with the Ephesian region. The figure is rendered with provincial vigor, the flowing water and abundant cornucopia symbolizing fertility and prosperity. The ethnic legend of the Ephesians appears partially in the field. |
