| Reverse description | Artemis, the patron deity of Ephesus, depicted standing to the right in hunting costume, wearing a short chiton and equipped with a quiver at her shoulder. With both arms extended forward, she grasps the antlers of a stag that kneels before her in submission, its body oriented to the right. The composition powerfully evokes Artemis's role as Mistress of Animals (Potnia Theron), a cult identity of particular importance at Ephesus. The civic legend ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ Β ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ is distributed in the field around the central figural group, affirming the city's coveted twice-neocorate status. |
