| Reverse description | The nude, bearded figure of the hero Pelops stands facing left in a commanding pose, holding a horse by its bridle with one hand and grasping a long transverse sceptre with the other. The image references the mythological founder-hero of the region and his association with horses, alluding to the famous chariot race of Pelops at Olympia. The reverse legend names the issuing civic authority in two lines or around the field. The style is typical of Lydian provincial coinage under the Antonine dynasty. |
