| Reverse description | Cybele, turreted and enthroned, seated left upon a throne, extending her right hand to hold a patera over a lion standing at her feet, while her left arm rests upon a tympanum decorated with a star in the field. The composition emphasizes the goddess's role as Mater Deum and mistress of wild beasts, a cult deeply rooted in the Lydian religious tradition. The encircling Greek legend names the local magistrate responsible for the issue and the city of Tabala. The reverse type reflects the importance of the Cybele cult in the cities of Lydia during the Imperial period. |
