| Reverse description | Dionysus, the divine patron of Philadelphia, depicted standing to the left in full figure, nude or lightly draped. In his right hand he extends a cantharus downward toward a panther crouching at his feet, while his left hand grasps a long thyrsus. The composition reflects the city's strong Dionysiac cult identity, frequently celebrated on Philadelphian civic coinage. The encircling Greek legend proclaims the city's neocorate status, denoting its honorific role as keeper of an imperial cult temple. |
