Reverse description A radiate hero, identified as the tutelary deity of Hierapolis, stands facing with head turned to the left, depicted in military attire with paludamentum. In his raised right hand he holds a double-headed axe (labrys), and in his extended left hand a patera. The encircling Greek legend proclaims the city's neocorate status. The composition is characteristic of the honorific civic reverse types struck at Hierapolis under Elagabalus.
