| Reverse description | Hygieia, goddess of health, stands to the right, her figure draped in flowing robes, extending her hand to feed a serpent coiling upward before her. Facing her stands Asclepius to the left, clad in himation, leaning upon his serpent-entwined staff (the caduceus of medicine). The juxtaposition of the two deities forms a symmetrical divine pairing, a composition popular in the civic coinage of Lydian and Mysian cities during the Roman Imperial period. The encircling Greek legend ϹΥΝΑΕΙΤΩΝ identifies the issuing civic community of the Synaites. |
