| Reverse description | Zeus Aseis depicted standing left in a frontal composition, his right hand extended downward over a goat standing at his feet, while his left arm cradles an infant figure — a type associated with the local cult of Zeus Aseis at Laodicea ad Lycum. The composition is characteristic of the city's civic coinage under Philip I, referencing the neocorate status of the city. The reverse legend encircles the type, identifying the issuing civic authority and its honorific title. The flan is irregular and the surfaces are heavily patinated with green corrosion, obscuring fine details of the relief. |
