Reverse description A winged female figure, tentatively identified as Nemesis, strides to the right in a dynamic pose. She raises her skirt with one hand in the characteristic gesture associated with Nemesis iconography, while holding a short torch in the other hand. The reverse legend ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ Γ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ is distributed around the field, proclaiming Ephesus as a thrice-neocorate city, a coveted civic honor denoting the city's role as custodian of three imperial cult temples. The composition reflects the pride of Ephesus in its distinguished religious status within the province of Asia.
