| Reverse description | Artemis, the principal deity of Ephesus, depicted standing to the right and actively restraining a stag by grasping its antlers with both hands, pulling the animal's head downward in a dynamic hunting pose. The figure of Artemis is rendered in the conventional provincial style, wearing a short chiton appropriate to her role as divine huntress. The reverse legend ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ ΤΡΙϹ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ is distributed around the field, proclaiming Ephesus as a thrice-neocorate city — a prestigious honorific denoting the city's three imperial cult temples. The flan is irregular with a chip at the top rim and heavy patination obscuring finer details. |
