Reverse description Zeus Lydios depicted standing to the left, his extended right hand presenting an eagle, while his left hand rests upon a tall sceptre. The figure is rendered in a dignified, hieratic pose characteristic of the civic coinage of Lydian cities under Roman imperial rule. The encircling Greek legend names the local magistrate Diogenes and the issuing community of the Cadians. The overall composition reflects the standard reverse type associated with the cult of Zeus Lydios in this region.
