| Reverse description | A she-wolf standing left, her head turned downward to suckle the twins Romulus and Remus, who are depicted beneath her. This iconic Romulean foundation motif, widely adopted by cities in the Roman East to assert their ties to Rome, is rendered in the compact provincial style. The encircling Greek ethnic legend occupies the upper and lateral fields. The type reflects Hierapolis's civic pride and its alignment with Roman imperial ideology during the reign of Philip I. |
