| Reverse description | Standing figure of Artemis of Ephesus depicted to the left, rendered in the characteristic idol-like frontal pose with supports at her sides and multiple rows of attributes on the chest, receiving a crown held in the right hand of Tyche, who stands to the right facing left. Tyche holds a cornucopia in her left hand, symbolizing civic prosperity and the divine protection of Nicopolis. The composition alludes to the city's veneration of Artemis Ephesia alongside the local Tyche, a pairing attested on other provincial bronzes of Epirus. The reverse legend ΙΕΡΑϹ ΝΕΙΚΟΠΟΛΕΩϹ, meaning 'of sacred Nicopolis,' is inscribed in the field, asserting the city's sacred civic status. |
