| Reverse description | The river-god Skamandros depicted reclining to the left in the canonical type of a semi-recumbent male deity, his upper body raised and supported on his left arm, with a water-urn beneath him from which water flows, symbolising the sacred river of the Troad. The figure is nude or semi-draped, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition befitting a local civic type of profound mythological significance to Ilium. The ethnic legend ΙΛΙΕΩΝ appears in the exergual field, while ϹΚΑΜΑΝΔΡΟϹ is inscribed in the surrounding field, identifying the deity and the issuing city. |
