Reverse description Central cult scene depicting two tall flaming torches set upright, each entwined by a serpent rising from the base, with a lighted altar placed between them at centre — a composition strongly evocative of the cult of Asclepius and Hygieia as practised at Cyzicus. The design is enclosed within a dotted border, and the multi-line Greek legend in the field and exergue records the name of the presiding strategos, the city ethnonym, and the city's neocorate status.
