| Reverse description | Hermes depicted in dynamic striding pose advancing to the right, dragging a ram by its hind leg with his lowered right hand while holding a long caduceus upright in his left hand. The figure is rendered in the active, somewhat linear style characteristic of Lydian provincial bronzes under Trajan Decius. The Greek civic legend of Philadelphia encircles the type in the field, referencing the city's neocorate status. The reverse type reflects the strong Hermaic cult associations of Philadelphia in Lydia. |
