| Beschrijving keerzijde | The iconic cult statue of Artemis Ephesia depicted facing, shown in the characteristic rigid, columnar xoanon form with multiple rows of pendilia (often interpreted as eggs or breasts) adorning the torso, the lower body tightly swathed in a sheath decorated with relief figures, and lateral supports or stags flanking the figure on either side. The Greek ethnic legend ΕΦΕΣΙΑ ('of the Ephesians') is inscribed across the upper field, affirming the civic identity of the issuing authority. |

RPC I 2624 belongs to a small group of Ephesian bronzes issued under Claudius that explicitly invoke the city's status as the seat of the imperial cult for Asia. The Greek legend ΕΦΕΣΙΑ — "of Ephesus" — was not mere civic pride; it was a pointed assertion of the city's long-running rivalry with Smyrna and Pergamon over which polis held primacy as neokoros, the official temple-warden of Rome's divine emperors in the province.
The issue dates to around the time Claudius consolidated administrative arrangements across Asia Minor following his annexation of Lycia in 43 AD.
