| Reverse description | Standing figure of Artemis Phosphoros ('Light-bearer'), depicted in full-length view facing right, wearing a quiver on her shoulder and holding a lit torch in each hand. The iconography emphasises the goddess's role as bringer of light, a cult epithet closely associated with the renowned sanctuary of Artemis at Ephesus. The reverse legend ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ ΠΡΩΤΩΝ ΑϹΙΑϹ, disposed around the field, proclaims Ephesus as the 'first city of Asia,' a title of considerable civic prestige during the imperial period. |
