| Reverse description | Dionysus, the divine patron of wine and festivity, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, his nude or lightly draped figure occupying the full height of the field. In his raised right hand he holds a cantharus, the characteristic wine cup associated with his cult, while his left hand supports a tall thyrsus, the fennel-topped staff emblematic of his worship. The composition reflects the standard civic reverse type employed by Hierapolis to celebrate its neocorate status, with the Greek civic legend disposed around the figure. |
