| Reverse description | The cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus (Artemis Ephesia) depicted standing, facing, in the distinctive hieratic frontal pose, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical crown) atop her head and supported on either side by lateral supports or stanchions. The goddess is flanked by two stags, sacred animals of Artemis, positioned symmetrically at her sides. The image faithfully reproduces the famous xoanon venerated at Ephesus, a type widely disseminated on the coinage of cities throughout the Conventus of Cyzicus. The encircling reverse legend reads ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ, featuring a distinctive local variant of the letter zeta rendered in a form resembling the Japanese katakana character エ. |
